Not again.
Chris Brown and his bodyguard were arrested for an alleged assault charge early Sunday morning in D.C. The alleged victim was hospitalized and wants to press charges.
The 24 year-old singer was in the nation's capitol to host a homecoming party at Park 14 Saturday night. Brown tweeted: "I'm hosting the Biggest Homecoming Party in DC TONIGHT."
According to Metro Police, the alleged altercation happened a few blocks down from Park 14, outside of W Hotel. Brown was taking a photo with two female fans when a guy and his friend decided to jump in the picture.
The victim, Isaac Parker, says that Brown was angry about the photobomb and said, "I'm not down with that gay s**t, I'm into boxing." He then punched him in the face, the blow breaking his nose.
Brown's bodyguard, Chris Hollosy, 35, stepped between the two and punched Parker in the face. He grabbed the singer by the arm and led him to his tour bus, which was parked nearby.
Parker, 20, was taken to the hospital and treated for a fractured nasal bone. He told TMZ that he hired a lawyer and wants to press charges.
Sources close to the "Fine China" singer say Parker is lying about the reason behind the fight. According to the source, the guy was trying to force his way onto Brown's tour bus and that Brown was just trying to prevent him from trespassing.
Brown and Hollosy were taken into custody for a felony assault, but the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor in a court hearing on Monday.
Brown was put on a five year probation in 2009 after he abused ex-girlfriend Rihanna. He is due back in court on November 20 for a probation hearing. If revoked, the singer could be put behind bars.
