Chris Brown can’t seem to stay out of trouble, he was arrested in Washington D.C. early this morning for allegedly assault a man outside a hotel according to TMZ. Police tell TM,Z Chris got into an argument with the man outside the W Hotel around 4:30 AM and allegedly punched the man. Chris did not seem to be under the influence at the time of the incident. He was taken into custody and the unknown man was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
Brown is supposed to steer clear of problems since he is still on probation over the Rihanna incident and a violation like this could land him in prison.
Update: The alleged victim spoke with TMZ and said that Chris punched him and hurled racial slurs when he tried to photo bomb a photo Chris was taking with two ladies, while a source close to Chris refutes that saying that guy was actually trying to get on Chris’ tour bus.
The alleged victim tells TMZ … he and a friend were hanging out at the W when they saw 2 women about to take a picture with Brown. The victim — who says he’s not a Chris Brown fan — says he and his buddy photo bombed the 2 women and Chris went nuts, punching him in the face and BREAKING HIS NOSE. He went to the hospital and says he may need surgery as early as tomorrow.
Law enforcement sources and the alleged victim tell TMZ … before striking the man, Chris said, “I’m not into this gay s**t, I’m into boxing.“ After Chris punched the man, the fight was taken to the ground.
Sources connected with Chris tell TMZ … the alleged victim is full of BS. He was NOT trying to take a pic with Chris … he was trying to get on Chris’ tour bus, and Brown was simply trying to stop a trespass. The sources say before the incident the 2 girls tried to get on the bus but they were stopped, and that’s when the victim and his friend made their move.
Law enforcement sources say Chris did not appear to be under the influence of anything.
Chris and his bodyguard — who was also arrested — will stay in jail today. Under DC law Brown can’t get bail so he’ll appear before a magistrate Monday, and until then he’ll stay behind bars.
The alleged victim tells TMZ he doesn’t understand why Brown was “so homophobic” to hurl such a slur. And get this … the victim says he would have accepted an apology at the scene, but now he will absolutely press charges — and he’s already hired a lawyer.
Brown is still on probation in the Rihanna beating case and this could be grounds for violating his probation — which means he could be sentenced to prison for nearly 4 years … worst case scenario for him.
Before the incident, Chris had been hosting a party at the nearby Park and 14th nightclub.
