Bad boy rapper Chris Brown faces arrest over nightclub assault if he returns to Britain
BAD boy rapper Chris Brown faces arrest over a nightclub assault if he returns to Britain.
The US star is alleged to have smashed a bottle over a producer’s head in February.
Brown’s reps said he would attend a police station to be quizzed under caution on March 29, at the end of his UK tour.
But he left the country and is believed to be back in the US.
A source said: “Chris knows he will be arrested if he goes back to the UK but is still doing everything he can to avoid it.
“But he is also concerned he could potentially be picked up in any country with an extradition treaty with Great Britain.

"Nobody can work out why he was ever allowed to leave the UK.”
The alleged attack happened at London’s Tape on February 19.
The victim, a member of Brown’s entourage, told The Sun on Sunday it was the rapper who hit him with a bottle.
Brown was barred from the UK in 2010 after he was convicted of assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

In 2013, he was arrested for breaking a man’s nose in the US capital Washington.
He voluntered for rehab but was kicked out and was jailed for a year for breaching probation.
Ex-Home Secretary Priti Patel lifted the ban on Brown entering the UK in 2020.
The source said: “There was some speculation in the Brown camp that the British might be too embarrassed to arrest Chris because the Government had let him back in.
"But the police are still after him.”
The Met said: “Two men were due to attend a police station for a voluntary interview on March 29 but did not attend.
"Enquiries are ongoing to locate them.”
