Chris Brown was arrested in May 2025 in Manchester, England, related to an alleged assault that took place in February 2023 at a nightclub in London. He is charged with grievous bodily harm with intent after allegedly attacking music producer Abraham Diaw by striking him multiple times with a bottle of tequila and further assaulting him while he was on the ground. Brown was initially held in custody but was later released on bail after paying a £5 million security deposit. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is scheduled for a trial in October 2026. Despite the ongoing case, he has been performing on his world tour under bail conditions, which include restrictions on his travel and contact with the alleged victim.
