Chris Brown was arrested Thursday in Manchester, England, in connection with an alleged bottle-throwing incident two years prior.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the 36-year-old controversial singer — who has a history of assault arrests — attacked music producer Abe Diaw in February 2023 at London’s Tape nightclub.

Brown was taken into custody at a Manchester hotel early Thursday morning on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, according to the outlet. Brown’s slated to tour in Manchester as well as other U.K. cities next month.

“We can confirm that Chris Brown was involved in an incident with our client, and the injuries sustained are serious,” attorney Ryan J. Daneshrad, who represented Diaw in the suit, told the Daily News. “We are pursuing all legal remedies to hold him accountable. At this time, we will let the facts speak for themselves through the proper legal channels.”

It’s unclear what led to the alleged altercation and what injuries Diaw allegedly sustained.

Brown is perhaps just as well-known for his legal issues as he once was for his musical prowess and hit songs like “Forever” and “No Air.”

Most infamously, in 2009, Brown viciously attacked then-girlfriend Rihanna, who was hospitalized as a result. He was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats, ultimately taking a deal in which he pleaded guilty to felony assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury.

Brown at the time was sentenced to five years probation, 180 days of community labor and a year of domestic violence classes and ordered to pay fines. In the aftermath, Brown was denied a visa to the U.K.

In the years since assaulting Rihanna, Brown has been arrested on suspicion of multiple other assaults in different cities.

Earlier this year, he sued Warner Bros. for an Investigation Discovery documentary, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” which identified him as a “serial rapist,” per People.

Brown’s lawyer did not immediately respond to The News’ request for comment.
