The Alleged Attack: A Brutal Encounter

According to reports confirmed by USA Herald, the incident unfolded during a Dirty Martini club night at Tape nightclub, a magnet for celebrities and influencers in London’s upscale Hanover Square. Abraham Diaw, a producer, alleges that Brown and his entourage targeted him without provocation. “He hit me over the head two or three times. My knee collapsed as well,” Diaw recounted, painting a harrowing picture of a relentless assault. The injuries were severe enough to require hospitalization, with Diaw discharged on crutches, unable to walk unaided. Diaw has since launched a $16 million (£12 million) civil claim against Brown, seeking damages for physical injuries and financial losses.

The Metropolitan Police detectives traveled to Manchester to apprehend Brown at the five-star Lowry Hotel just after 2 a.m. on Thursday. A Met spokesperson confirmed: “A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs on Thursday, 15 May on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. He has been taken into custody where he remains.” The arrest, tied to the February 2023 incident, comes as Brown prepares for his Breezy Bowl XX world tour, with UK performances scheduled for June 21 and 22 at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
