Singer Chris Brown was arrested in the U.K. early Thursday morning over an alleged attack on a producer that happened two years ago, according to TMZ and The Sun.

The outlets report that the R&B artist was apprehended by London’s Metropolitan Police on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.

The arrest reportedly took place at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester around 2 a.m. local time, just hours after he had flown into town on his private jet.

Brown was taken into custody over an incident that happened at London’s Tape nightclub on Feb. 19, 2023, when he reportedly smashed music producer Abe Diaw on the head with a bottle.

At the time of the incident, Diaw told The Sun that the “Under the Influence” singer’s assault was unprovoked. Diaw said Brown proceeded to punch and kick him while he was stuck on the floor after the initial blow to the head.

Brown’s representatives did not immediately return a HuffPost request for comment.

The Grammy-winning singer is set to embark on a world tour next month and is currently scheduled to perform 10 dates in England.

Brown has been accused of violent assault multiple times over the years, including a highly publicized 2009 incident with his then-girlfriend Rihanna.

In 2014, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for an incident in Washington, D.C. According to prosecutors, the singer admitted to punching a man in the face “without provocation.”

Last year, Brown was sued on behalf of four men who alleged he and members of his entourage “brutally and severely beat” them backstage after a show in Fort Worth, Texas. At the time of the suit, Brown’s representatives didn’t respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
