WASHINGTON (AP) — A lawyer says the man who claims he was punched by Chris Brown and his bodyguard is trying to “get rich” as a result of a bloody nose.
Bernard Grimm made the statements at a trial Thursday in Washington for his client, bodyguard Christopher Hollosy, who is charged with misdemeanor assault.
Both men were arrested in October after a Maryland man accused them of punching him outside a Washington hotel. Hollosy told police he punched the man after he tried to get on Brown’s tour bus. The man told police Brown and later Hollosy punched him after he tried to get in a photo with Brown and two women.
Hollosy’s trial is expected to last one to two days. Brown’s trial will follow. Brown denies punching the man.
