In a statement to the outlet, the authorities said that Brown was held on “suspicion of grievous bodily harm” and taken into custody at a local police station, “where he remains” for questioning. The police said that the arrest was made in connection with an incident involving Brown at a “venue in Hanover Square on 19 February 2023.” 

Brown's case is currently under investigation and is being led by the Central West Area Basic Command Unit detectives. The Under the Influence hitmaker landed at Manchester Airport on a private jet Wednesday afternoon. He is set to perform a number of shows as part of his Breezy Bowl XX Tour in the UK in June. 

Ahead of Brown's arrest, Diaw told the outlet that the Go Crazy crooner launched an “unprovoked attack” on him at Tape nightclub in London. In a statement to the outlet on Sunday, the producer accused the Sensational singer of smashing a bottle on his head and kicking and punching him as he lay on the floor.

“He hit me over the head two or three times. My knee collapsed as well,” Diaw recalled. Following the alleged incident, he was rushed to a nearby hospital and later required crutches to walk. Meanwhile, Brown's arrest could affect his upcoming tour, which is set to kick off in Amsterdam on June 8.
