Chris Brown in UK Court for Assault Trial
Chris Brown, a famous singer, went to a court in London.
He and another man, Omololu Akinlolu, are accused of hurting someone in a nightclub.
They both said they didn't do it.
The court decided they could wait for their trial at home.
The trial will happen in October.
Chris Brown had to pay a lot of money to be free until then.
He went to the court to say his name and confirm he will be there for the trial.
Chris Brown appeared in London’s Southwark Crown Court on January 28, 2024, for a preliminary hearing.
He and co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu both denied charges of attempted grievous bodily harm and assault.
The trial is scheduled to begin in October 2024, with a further preliminary hearing in April.
Brown was granted bail in May 2023 after paying 5 million pounds, allowing him to continue his tour.
The incident allegedly involved an unprovoked attack with a bottle in a London nightclub in 2023.
