US singer Chris Brown has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent following an alleged attack in London. The 36-year-old was taken into custody at a hotel in Manchester during the early hours of Thursday by detectives from the Metropolitan Police.
The charge stems from an incident that reportedly occurred at a venue in Hanover Square, Mayfair, on February 19, 2023. Brown is currently in custody and is scheduled to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court at 10 AM today.
Adele Kelly, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London North, confirmed the charge, stating, “We have authorized the Metropolitan Police to charge Chris Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.”
Reports indicate that the R&B artist arrived at Manchester Airport on a private jet on Wednesday afternoon prior to his arrest.
The Crown Prosecution Service has emphasized the importance of a fair trial, urging that no reporting or commentary should prejudice the ongoing legal proceedings.
