Brown, 37, made the change of plea during a hearing at London\u2019s Southwark Crown Court. He had previously denied more serious charges over the 2023 altercation.<\/p>\n

In return for the guilty plea, prosecutors dropped charges of assault, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and having an offensive weapon.<\/p>\n

Brown had denied attacking Abraham Diaw with a bottle at the Tape nightclub in the swanky Mayfair neighborhood in February 2023.<\/p>\n

The fight was caught on surveillance camera in front of a club full of people, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Brown had been free on bail of 5 million pounds ($6.75 million), which allowed him to tour<\/a> last summer in Europe and North America.<\/p>\n

He was freed on bail again Friday and will be sentenced Oct. 26 for the affray charge.<\/p>\n
