Bowie, Maryland – R&B singer Chris Brown has been sued for $1.5 million in D.C. Superior Court by a Prince George's County man who says the entertainer punched him.
Parker Isaac Adams, 20, of Beltsville, said in the lawsuit that he approached Brown outside a Washington hotel in October and tried to take a photo with the singer, according to The Washington Post.
Adams said that rather than posing, Brown objected and punched him in the face after saying, “I feel like boxing.”
Adams’s attorney, John C. Hayes Jr., says his client suffered a broken nose and other injuries to his face. Adams is suing Brown and a bodyguard for $1.5 million each. The suit was filed Tuesday.
