US singer Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty in court to two charges relating to an alleged bottle attack at a London nightclub two years ago.
The 36-year-old star is accused of causing actual bodily harm to a music producer during an incident that prosecutors have described as “unprovoked”.
He is also charged with having an offensive weapon – namely a tequila bottle.
The two charges were added last month to a more serious count of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH), to which Mr Brown has already pleaded not guilty. The singer will face trial in October 2026.
