American R&B singer Chris Brown has been arrested following an alleged bottle attack that occurred at a nightclub in Los Angeles late Tuesday night. Authorities confirmed the arrest early Wednesday morning, citing assault with a deadly weapon as the primary charge.
According to eyewitnesses, a heated altercation broke out between Brown and another individual at the exclusive venue, escalating quickly when the singer allegedly threw a glass bottle at the victim. The bottle reportedly struck the person, causing visible injuries that required medical attention on the scene.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers responded to a 911 call from the nightclub shortly after 1:30 a.m. Brown was taken into custody without incident and booked at the LAPD’s downtown precinct. He is currently being held on bail pending a court hearing.
This incident adds to a long list of legal troubles for the 35-year-old artist, who has previously faced assault charges and probation violations throughout his career. Representatives for Brown have not yet issued a public statement, and the identity of the victim has not been officially released.
LAPD officials say the investigation is ongoing, and they are reviewing security footage and speaking with witnesses to determine the full circumstances of the altercation.
Fans and critics alike are once again divided over the singer’s behavior, with social media reactions pouring in just hours after the news broke.
