Chris Brown has been formally charged with grievous bodily harm with intent by the Metropolitan Police. The charge is linked to an alleged assault that reportedly occurred at a nightclub in central London on February 19, 2023. The 36-year-old musician was taken into custody at a hotel in Manchester early Thursday morning and is currently awaiting his appearance before Manchester Magistrates' Court, which is scheduled for Friday.
Adele Kelly, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London North, confirmed the legal proceedings, stating, "We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Chris Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.” She emphasized the defendant’s entitlement to a fair trial as the criminal case continues.
Reports indicate that Brown arrived at Manchester Airport on a private jet on Wednesday afternoon. Despite the legal troubles, he remains on tour and has several scheduled performances across the UK in June and July.
