Charges of felony battery against US singer Chris Brown have been dropped, one year after he was arrested after a concert in West Plam Beach, Florida.

The incident involved an alleged attack at a nightclub in Tampa in 2017. Brown was accused of punching the club's photographer, who was reportedly taking pictures of him after being told not to.

The photographer suffered a split lip, and later went to hospital and pressed charges.

Pitchfork reports that the charges have now been dropped, according to Hillsborough County court records.

Brown has faced a number of charges in recent years, including one regarding an aggravated rape allegation by a French woman in January this year.

Brown was arrested in Paris, and filed a defamation suit against his accuser several days after the charge.
