Chris Brown 'facing jail' after allegedly punching a stranger
Chris Brown has been arrested after allegedly attacking a man in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The alleged incident took place in Washington, D.C. and resulted in the 24-year-old singer being arrested for felony assault.
The charge could carry a four-year prison sentence for the R'n'B star as he's still on parole for assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
Brown and his bodyguard were both arrested after the former allegedly 'punched a man in the face' outside a D.C. hotel.
According to TMZ's law enforcement sources, the singer got into a row with a man outside the W Hotel before throwing the alleged punches.
Rihanna's ex-boyfriend did not appear to be under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, the website maintains.
The altercation took place at around 4:30 in the morning.
Brown, who hosted a party at the city's Park and 14th club earlier in the evening, was taken into police custody.
The alleged victim was reportedly taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation, and his nose is said to be broken.
Gossip website TMZ.com spoke with the alleged victim, who told them that he may need surgery on his nose.
The unidentified man claimed that Chris went 'nuts' when he and a male friend rushed over to get in a photo that the R'n'B star was taking with two women.
