Chris Brown is under investigation for alleged domestic violence felony battery, the LAPD confirms to PEOPLE.
"The identity of the victim will not be released," said
Officer April Harding. "Any victim who's involved in a domestic
violence incident is entitled to confidentiality."
Both Brown and girlfriend Rihanna
were scheduled to perform at the Grammys, but this statement was
released Sunday evening: "We have just been informed that Rihanna will
not be attending tonight's 51st Annual Grammy Awards. We're sorry she
is unable to join us this evening."
Around 12:30
a.m. on Sunday, the R&B singer and a woman were in a vehicle in
L.A. when they became involved in an argument, according to a police
statement. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the
argument escalated. The LAPD received a 911 call reporting the
disturbance.
When officers arrived they found the victim, but Brown had
already left the scene, the statement reads. The woman suffered visible
injuries and identified Brown as her attacker, police say.
The LAPD is conducting an investigation into the incident.
Earlier Saturday night Brown and Rihanna were at the Recording Academy and Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Gala in Beverly Hills.
When asked about Rihanna's well being, her rep told PEOPLE, "Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support."
