Chris Brown has being accused of beating up a man during an argument at a Las Vegas basketball court.

According to TMZ, the 25-year-old singer allegedly punched a man, who was then allegedly hit by a member of the R&B star’s entourage, police have said.

The victim took himself to hospital where he received treatment and was later released after speaking to the Las Vegas Metropolitan police Violent Crimes officers.

The incident is said to have occurred at Palms Casino Resort, where a fight broke out on the court during a game at the Las Vegas hotel.

Brown had been in town for the Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather boxing match on Saturday night. In the statement released by the police on Monday, police said that Brown can sign a citation for misdemeanour battery or the case will go to court.

This incident comes just months after the new father was released from probation stemming from his violent assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.
