The UK court remanded American R&B singer Chris Brown into custody on Friday.
Brown, 36, was remanded into custody until June 13 by a judge in Manchester over an allegation of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
As reported earlier, Chris Brown was arrested on Thursday Morning, May 15, 2025, by the Lowry Hotel in Manchester by the Metropolitan Police shortly after he landed in the city on a private plane on Wednesday afternoon.
According to court documents, Brown allegedly struck Diaw with a bottle “several times” before stomping, kicking him, and chasing him, rendering Diaw unconscious for approximately 30 seconds. The injured music producer required immediate hospitalization following the incident.
On Thursday evening, prosecutors charged Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, a serious felony under Section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act of 1861.
Adele Kelly, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London North, confirmed the charges, stating, “We have authorized 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.
“The alleged incident occurred in London on 19 February 2023. He will have his first court appearance on Friday, 16 May at Manchester Magistrates’ Court. The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.
