Summary Sha'keir Duarte sued Brown on Tuesday for unspecified damages in Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man who claims he was punched and kicked by a member of Chris Brown s entourage during a fight at a recording studio is suing the R&B singer for assault and battery.
Sha keir Duarte sued Brown on Tuesday for unspecified damages in Los Angeles.
Brown s lawyer Mark Geragos called it a frivolous lawsuit and vowed to have it dismissed.
Duarte claims he was beaten by a member of Brown s entourage identified in the suit only as "Hood" during a fight over a parking spot. The fight at Westlake Recording Studios erupted on Jan. 27 between the entourages of Brown and fellow singer Frank Ocean.
Duarte s lawsuit says Brown taunted him and threatened that the fight could escalate into a shooting, which Duarte claims left him afraid for his life.
