Update: Rihanna's boyfriend Chris Brown in 'domestic violence felony battery' allegation

Details of the altercation concerning Chris Brown are emerging, and it turns out he is being investigated in “an alleged domestic violence felony battery incident.”

The LAPD says that Brown was in a vehicle with an unidentified woman in Hancock Park, Los Angeles just after midnight last night when an argument started.

According to usmagazine.com, the police say Brown and the woman got out of the car and the argument escalated.

The incident resulted in an allegation of assault by the woman, who as yet has not been identified. She reportedly had visible injuries. Police say Brown was not at the scene when they got there.

The couple attended Clive Davis’, Pre-Grammy party earlier in the evening.

"Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support," a rep told Us.

Neither Rihanna nor Brown are fulfilling their commitments at the ceremony tonight, which is currently happening in Los Angeles.
