Chris Brown has been arrested for felony assault. Insiders tell TMZ that an incident took place around 4:30 a.m. in Washington D.C., as Brown allegedly got into a fight with a man outside the W Hotel and started punching him repeatedly. It is not believed that the singer was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time. As of this writing, the 24-year-old R&B star is in police custody, while the victim is being treated for injuries at a local hospital. The artist, of course, remains under probation for his felony beating of Rihanna in 2009 and this arrest may be grounds for a violation of those terms. If so, he could be sentenced for at least four years in prison. Prior to the altercation, Breezy – who claims he’s a beast at sex – had been hosting a party at a nightclub nearby.

The star allegedly, said, “I’m not into this gay s–t, I’m into boxing,” and hit the alleged victim in the face. Reports say the man Chris hit never threw a punch. The fight was then taken to the ground until it was eventually broken up, the police were called, and Brown was taken into custody. Pretty amazing.

Sources close to Brown say the alleged victim was actually trying to get on the singer’s tour bus, and Brown was simply trying to stop him from trespassing. Story developing …
