More Details About Chris Brown’s Arrest
The Sun reports that cops detained Brown at about 2 a.m. on Thursday (May 15) at The Lowry Hotel and brought him in for questioning. His arrest reportedly happened a few hours after he landed at the Manchester Airport in a private plane.
Detectives suspect the singer of causing grievous bodily harm to a producer named Abe Diaw on February 19, 2023. The incident allegedly occurred at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London. Detectives say Breezy attacked Abe by smashing a bottle on his head before punching and kicking him on the ground.
Lawyer For Abe Diaw Speaks Out
Diaw later filed a civil $16 million lawsuit against Chris Brown over the incident. His lawyer in the lawsuit, Ryan J. Daneshrad, told TMZ on Thursday that they can confirm Chris Brown was involved in the nightclub attack.
“…We can confirm that Chris Brown was involved in an incident with our client, and the injuries sustained are serious. 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.”

Chris Brown Sparked Social Media Reactions With Tory Lanez Post
Meanwhile, news of Chris Brown’s Manchester arrest comes after he went viral for posting about Tory Lanez on Wednesday (May 14). In a press conference, Lanez’s legal team claimed to have new evidence supporting their client’s alleged innocence. Attorney Walter Roberts said a bodyguard for Megan Thee Stallion‘s ex-friend, Kelsey Harris, overheard Harris admitting to being the shooter. As previously reported, Tory is currently serving a 10-year sentence after being found guilty of assault with a firearm, illegal possession of a firearm, and negligent discharge of a gun.
The update flooded the internet streets, sparking viral reactions from the rapper’s fans and celebrities. Breezy also wasted no time showing his support for the Canadian rapper. On his Instagram Stories, Chris Brown wrote, “FREE TORY!!!”
Brown’s comment inspired a slew of reactions, including some folks citing his history with violence. As expected, the February 2009 car incident with Rihanna was heavily mentioned. According to PEOPLE, Breezy was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats about one month after an argument between the couple escalated. Then, in June 2009, he pleaded guilty to the charges. He copped a plea that included community service, five years’ probation, and domestic violence counseling, which he completed in 2010.
