Chris Brown arrested, charged with felony assault in DC, police say

Singer Chris Brown was arrested this morning and charged with felony assault, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed to CBS News.

D.C. police spokesperson Paul Metcalf said the 24-year-old Brown got into a physical altercation with an adult male near the W Hotel located on K and 15th street around 4:25 a.m. local time.

DCPD did not disclose the condition of the victim, but said 'he's alive.'

Chris Hollosy, a 35-year-old male, was also arrested in the incident and was charged the same.

Brown has been dealing with legal problems since 2009, when he was arrested for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna and was first placed on probation.

Earlier this month, the promoter of four Chris Brown concerts in Canada scheduled this summer canceled the events after consulting with Brown and in light of his recent personal and health-related issues.

The R&B star had his probation reinstated in early August after he was involved in an alleged hit-and-run accident. He recently reached a civil compromise with the driver of the car.

Brown also suffered a seizure earlier this month.
