US singer Chris Brown has been arrested and charged with inflicting "grevious bodily harm" due to an alleged assault incident that happened at a London nightclub in February 2023, British authorities said on Thursday.
 
The 36-year-old was arrested Thursday at a hotel in Manchester in relation to the 2023 London nightclub incident, the London Metropolitan Police's statement said.
 
On that night over two years ago, he allegedly attacked music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle at the exclusive Tape nightclub in the UK capital city, The Sun daily reported.
