US singer Chris Brown has been
arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a woman told
police he had threatened her with a gun.

Curran told the LA Times Mr Brown had pointed the gun at her face after
she had been admiring his friend's jewellery.
Mr Brown came out of his home after a stand-off with police on Tuesday.
Mr Brown's lawyer tweeted that his client was later freed, adding that the accusations were "demonstrably false".
Associated Press reported that Mr Brown was released on $250,000 (£190,000) bail.
The singer has several convictions for violence, including a 2009 assault on his then girlfriend, pop star Rihanna.

Police
went to Mr Brown's home following the emergency call early on Tuesday
from Ms Curran, who by that time had left the property.
Ms Curran told the LA Times that she and a friend had gone to Mr Brown's house with a business associate on Monday evening.
She
said she had been admiring the diamond necklace of a man who had been
showing off his jewellery when the man got angry and told her to back
away.
That is when she says Mr Brown pulled out a gun, pointed it at her face and told her to get out.
"If somebody put a gun to your head, what would you do? Call the police," Ms Curran said on her Instagram account, AFP news agency reported.
Once
at Mr Brown's sprawling mansion, police officers were allegedly denied
entry and had to wait for a judge to approve a search warrant before
going inside to search for a weapon.
It wasn't until Mr Brown's lawyer arrived that the singer eventually emerged.
Police said about half a dozen people had been escorted out of the residence and would be interviewed.
During the stand-off, Mr Brown posted videos online accusing the police of harassment.
"When
you get the warrant for whatever you need to do, you're going to walk
right up in here and you're going to see nothing, you idiots," he said
in one Instagram video, posted to 30m followers.
In
another, Mr Brown also voiced support for the Black Lives Matter
movement against police brutality, saying: "You're all the worst gang in
the world, the police."
