The alleged incident took place in 2023 with Brown arrested 'on suspicion of grievous bodily harm'. It is alleged the star assaulted producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, London.
Diaw has previously alleged that Brown launched an unprovoked attack at him while the star attended one of Tape's Dirty Martini club nights.
The Met Police said in a statement to the LADbible Group: "A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs on Thursday, 15 May on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
