LONDON (Reuters) -U.S. singer Chris Brown on Friday pleaded not guilty to attacking a music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub two years ago.
Brown is charged with attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm in what prosecutors said was an "unprovoked attack" on Abraham Diaw in a London nightclub in 2023.
The 36-year-old appeared at London's Southwark Crown Court, where he denied the charge.
The R&B star, a two-time Grammy Award winner known for hits such as "Loyal", "Run It" and "Under the Influence", was granted bail in May after promising to pay a 5 million-pound ($6.7 million) security fee in order to begin his "Breezy Bowl XX" tour.
Brown was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England last month after returning to Britain for the first time since the incident two years ago.
