Chris Brown Investigated for Alleged Assault

Posted Feb 8th 2009 5:51PM by TMZ Staff

Chris BrownLaw enforcement sources tell TMZ Chris Brown is being investigated by the LAPD in an alleged assault on a female.

According to police, Brown and a woman whom cops refuse to identify were arguing inside a vehicle around 12:30 this morning when suddenly things allegedly turned violent.

Cops say they received a 911 call, and when they arrived they noticed the woman had visible injuries. We're told she then identified Brown as her attacker. Cops say Brown had left the scene by the time police arrived.

Cops say they are looking to speak with Brown and may arrest him when they find him.

When we called reps for Brown's girlfriend, Rihanna, for a statement, her people told us, "Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support."

UPDATE: Grammy officials have just announced that Rihanna will neither perform on the show tonight -- as scheduled -- nor walk the red carpet for the event. The same announcement has been made about Chris.

5. I hope this isn't true no matter the nature of the assault. That would be very bad for his wholesome image and make Rihanna guilty by association. Please say it ain't so.

8. Well. Maybe this will save that life of his....slow him down some. He's a nice kid. But, I think he might like puzzy too much!

Besides, that damn girlfriend of his..Rihanna...is driving him NUTS with her insecurity and possessiveness. He's too young to be tied down Rihanna!!!!!! The sun does not rise and shine in YOUR poontang!

9. I bet he assaulted Jordin Sparks. She said she is prettier than him, and he got pissed and decided she needed "No Air".

10. rihanna and chris brown have pulled out of the grammys and are being replaced by boyz II men and al green. Their rehearsals on friday were amazing but they pulled out this morning. Rihanna is currently at cedars sinai.

11. Poor fellow. He got mixed up with a Third World Witch. Wow. She drove him to the edge with her controlling azz! He shoulda stuck to the fine American-bred girls instead of that Islander trash.

My daddy always said...'When you play in trash, it'll get in your eyes'. Hang in there Chris. You're the only one in that relationship with talent! Don't let her take you down to her level....TRASH.

15. Police Seek Singer Brown Sought In Alleged Beating
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―

Los Angeles police said they're investigating an alleged domestic violence felony battery report involving Chris Brown.
The police department said in a release that the R&B singer and a woman were in a vehicle in the Hancock Park neighborhood early Sunday when they became involved in an argument.

The department said Brown and the woman got out of the car and the argument escalated. The woman reportedly suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker.

Police responding to a 911 call reporting the disturbance said they found the victim, but that Brown had already left the scene.
Officer Karen Smith said police are searching for Brown.
A message left seeking comment from Brown's representative at the ICM talent agency was not immediately returned.
