Chris Brown was arrested Sunday morning for allegedly attacking a man outside of Washington’s W Hotel.
The 24-year-old "Forever" singer got into a 4:30 a.m. altercation with a man outside the inn and punched him, resulting in his arrest for felony assault, a D.C. police spokesman said.
Chris Hollosy, 35, was also arrested for felony assault, the spokesman Paul Metcalf said.

Brown did not appear to be under the influence of any substances, law enforcement sources told TMZ.
Police believe the two men were together during the incident but Metcalf couldn’t confirm any relationship between the suspects.
One of the men was injured in the fight, requiring treatment, but cops did not say which of the men was the apparent loser in the brawl.
Brown and Hollosy were being held in police custody until Monday, Metcalf said.

The singer is still on probation from his 2009 attack on singer Rihanna, his then girlfriend.
Brown’s publicists and attorney, Mark Geragos, did not immediately respond to messages left early Sunday.
Brown did not appear to be under the influence of any substances, law enforcement sources told the gossip site TMZ.
Brown has been on probation stemming from the 2009 attack on pop singer Rihanna, his girlfriend at the time.

Brown performed in Philadelphia on Friday, just days before his weekend arrest.
The photos of Rihanna’s bruised face caused outrage among many fans. Brown pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault as part of a plea deal.
In July his probation was briefly revoked after he was involved in a hit-and-run incident in Los Angeles, but it was later reinstated in August.
The singer has also been involved in subsequent altercations with fellow musicians Drake and Frank Ocean, though neither of those resulted in criminal charges.

Ocean said he suffered an injured finger in the Los Angeles incident, but no charges were filed. A second man, Sha’keir Duarte, sued Brown, claiming a concussion.
A new felony assault charge could be grounds for probation violation. Brown is due back in court Nov. 20 in Los Angeles to update a judge on his probation.
