Chris Brown apologises

More than a week after the alleged altercation between Rihanna and Chris Brown, he has come out with the first public announcement about the situation.

The alleged altercation had taken place shortly after midnight on February 8. Police were called to a dispute in Los Angeles' Hancock Park neighbourhood, where a couple had been fighting in a rented Lamborghini. The female victim identified in numerous reports as Rihanna received hospital treatment for her injuries. Chris voluntarily surrendered himself to police later that day. He was then released on $50,000 bail and will appear in court on 5 March if authorities press formal charges.
