Chris Brown, Who Posted “Free Tory” Hours Earlier, Arrested in Manchester Over 2023 London Nightclub Attack.

American R&B star Chris Brown has been arrested in Manchester just hours after arriving in the UK for his scheduled tour. The arrest comes on the heels of a controversial Instagram story in which Brown posted “Free Tory,” referencing Tory Lanez, who is currently serving a sentence for shooting fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion. Brown was taken into custody shortly after landing, drawing swift attention both for his remarks and the timing of the arrest.

Authorities confirmed that the arrest is connected to a 2023 incident at a London nightclub, where music producer Abe Diaw was injured in a bottle attack.

The Metropolitan Police have been investigating the case since last year and issued a warrant for Brown’s arrest after gathering witness testimony and reviewing security footage. Brown, who has a history of legal troubles, is currently being held in custody while UK authorities assess the next steps in the investigation.
