The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department have issued a statement that Chris Brown, 25, is the suspect of battery in a fight with another man early Monday morning during a basketball game in Las Vegas.

The incident took place at the Palms Casino Resort. According to police, the altercation occurred at approximately 3:42 am.

A verbal altercation on the court led to a physical fight and the victim was punched by Brown.

Police did not speak to Brown.

According to the statement, Brown can either sign a citation for misdemeanor battery, or have a case submitted to the District Attorney's Office.
