Chris Brown was arrested for assault in Washington D.C. on Sunday morning, a police spokesperson confirms to Gossip Cop.

The singer allegedly got into a “physical altercation” with an adult male outside the W Hotel, and was taken into custody for felony assault around 4:30 a.m.

We’re told a third person, 35-year-old Chris Hollosy, was arrested on the same charge, with some outlets identifying him as Brown’s bodyguard, but police could not confirm their association.

The victim “sustained injuries,” and was reportedly evaluated at a local hospital.

Both Brown and Hollosy are expected to remain in jail until an arraignment on Monday, though that is subject to change.

Gossip Cop has reached out to a rep for Brown, but did not immediately hear back.

The arrest and charge could have serious implications for the performer, who is still on probation for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

Brown was in D.C. for an appearance Saturday at The Park, a nightclub.

We’ll have updates.

Truth rating: 9

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly being sued for her 2012 car crash on Pacific Coast Highway in California.

As Gossip Cop reported at the time, the starlet was behind the wheel of a Porsche when she rammed into a truck in front of her.

Lohan later tried to claim she wasn’t driving, and was eventually charged with lying to police and reckless driving, a case in which she pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 90 days in a locked rehab facility earlier this year.

Now truck driver James Johnson – who claimed that the incident was Lohan’s fault — is suing the actress over alleged injuries sustained in the accident, plus mental anguish.

He is seeking unspecified damages, reports TMZ.

A rep for Lohan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Rihanna Alleged Trespasser Arrested, Reportedly Same Man Who Tried to Burglarize Singer

Truth rating: 10

A man was arrested for allegedly trespassing at Rihanna’s California home on Friday, and he’s reportedly the same individual who attempted to burglarize her estate earlier this week.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, the singer was the victim of a burglary attempt on Sunday when a person threw a chair through a back door of her Pacific Palisades mansion.

The suspect stopped his break-in and took off when Rihanna’s alarm sounded — only to reportedly RETURN to the property on Friday morning.

This time the performer’s security reportedly caught the man allegedly scaling a wall surrounding the estate, leading to his arrest when police arrived.

Security footage is said to have confirmed he is the culprit in both incidents, and police have booked him on a burglary charge.

According to TMZ, the alleged perpetrator is a 27-year-old male who claims he is friends with the star.

Rihanna was not home during either incident.
