Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were injured in the dance floor showdown with members of hip-hop star Drake's entourage early Thursday morning at a New York nightclub, police said. Brown tweeted a photo of himself with a cut chin, then later removed it, as well as other messages about the fight, including epithets and taunts. A representative later released a statement saying the singer and his girlfriend, model Karrueche Tran, were victims of a "brutal attack." A representative for Drake said the star was on his way out of the club when the altercation began. "He did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property," according to the statement. Sources told Entertainment Weekly that Drake wasn't involved in the fight, but that Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill was. But law enforcement sources told TMZ that Brown's lawyer gave police "physical evidence," which reportedly shows Drake was involved. According to the Associated Press, witnesses told police that two men approached Brown's table and asked him whether he had a problem with Drake, and he replied he did not. Later, as Brown was leaving the club, five men blocked his way on the dance floor and started taking off their shirts and yelling, police said. Five bystanders, four women and a man, also suffered cuts during the fight at the club W.i.P. in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, police said. Brown's bodyguard suffered a more serious cut to the head, but all the victims were released from the hospital later Thursday. Police were looking for surveillance footage and talking to patrons who witnessed the melee. No arrests have been made and no complaints filed, and no one has identified any one person as an assailant, police said. "Chris and his party are cooperating with NY authorities who are pursuing this incident further," Brown's representatives said in a statement. Neither star was on scene when police arrived around 4 a.m. Thursday. It's not clear what prompted the fight. Both Brown and Drake at one time dated singer Rihanna.
