Chris Brown And His Bodyguard Charged With Felony Assault After Alleged Fight Outside Luxury Hotel

Singer Chris Brown and his bodyguard were arrested Sunday morning and charged with felony assault after an alleged altercation with a third man outside the W Hotel in Washington, D.C., CNN reports.

Brown, 24, allegedly punched the man once in the face, TMZ reports, citing unnamed law enforcement officials. Brown appeared to be sober at the time of the alleged assault, those sources said.

The man, who was not a friend of Brown's, allegedly didn't get even one punch in, according to TMZ.

The alleged victim was being treated at a Washington, D.C. hospital on Sunday morning.

Brown is on probation for a 2009 domestic violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend, the singer Rihanna. He pleaded guilty to the brutal attack on his then-girlfriend. Brown allegedly bit Rihanna's ear and fingers, put her in a headlock that restricted her breathing, and threatened to kill her, according to CNN.

An arrest of any kind could land him in jail for violating the terms of his probation.
