The US singer hit a man with a glass bottle in "a vicious and unprovoked attack", prosecutors say.

US singer Chris Brown has pleaded guilty to affray over what prosecutors called "a vicious and unprovoked attack" in a London nightclub in 2023. Police said CCTV showed that Brown, one of the world's biggest R&B stars, hit the victim on the head with a glass bottle several times, and that the man was then chased, pushed to the floor and kicked. The 37-year-old star had been due to face a trial on more serious charges, which he denied - assault, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm, and having an offensive weapon, namely a tequila bottle. However, those charges have now been dropped. Affray, which is defined as using or threatening violence towards someone and making them fear for their safety, is punishable by up to three years in jail. Brown will be sentenced in October.

Det Con Zara Ripamonti of the Metropolitan Police said: "This was a disgraceful, unprovoked assault that put a man in hospital. "There is no place for serious violence like this in the London and I'm pleased these men accepted what they did wasn't just completely unacceptable - but criminal.
