Rapper Chris Brown was arrested early Thursday morning at a luxury hotel in Manchester in connection with a bottle attack at a London nightclub.

Metropolitan Police apprehended the 36-year-old American artist shortly after 2 a.m. at The Lowry Hotel.

Following a report by The Sun confirming his presence in the country, Met detectives traveled to Manchester to carry out the arrest.

He is currently being held at a local police station for questioning.
