Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rihanna

Singer Chris Brown has been arrested for felony battery after a violent incident on Saturday night.

The LAPD was investigating Brown for assault after a domestic violence felony battery against the singer's girlfriend, Rihanna, in Los Angeles.

Both Brown and Rihanna cancelled their appearance at the Grammy Awards Sunday night.

Brown turned himself in to police on Sunday night, and was held on $50,000 bail. He posted bail and was released later in the evening.

The LAPD said the singer and his girlfriend were in a car on North June St. in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles, where she claims an argument occurred. She said Brown stopped the car and she suffered "visible injuries" and identified Brown as her attacker.

On Saturday evening, the two walked the red carpet at the Grammy Salute to Industry Icons honoring Clive Davis at the Beverly Hilton, and were later seen together inside the party.

Rihanna was set to perform and was nominated for three awards, while Brown was nominated for two awards.
