Chris Brown Pleads Guilty in London Nightclub Brawl Case
The 37-year-old singer entered the plea on Friday at Southwark Crown Court, according to a Punch report citing AFP. The charge stemmed from a February 2023 incident at Tape nightclub in Hanover Square, where a man was allegedly struck with a bottle and chased during Brown’s UK tour. More serious charges, including attempted grievous bodily harm, will be dropped.
Brown, out on £5 million bail, is scheduled for sentencing on October 26. He was arrested in Manchester in May 2025 but was later allowed to continue his tour.
