Chris Brown has been sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 12 months, therefore avoiding jail time.
The US singer had been found guilty of affray after pleading guilty to affray over a confrontation at a London nightclub in which a man was hit over the head with a bottle.
He had been accused of attacking Abraham Diaw at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair, near Oxford Circus, in February 2023.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), Brown and his vocal coach approached the victim from the dancefloor and after moving through the crowd, “struck him twice over the head with a glass bottle”.
The pair “continued their assault whilst the victim attempted to flee through the club” and “the victim was kicked while he was seated defenceless on the floor”.
Diaw was taken to St Mary’s Hospital with head and knee injuries.
