Chris Brown's assault case delayed again

R&B star Chris Brown's day in court to answer assault charges has been delayed again after travel issues prevented the singer from making it to Washington, D.C.

The Kiss Kiss hitmaker was due to appear in court on Friday (29Aug14) for what would have been the third attempt to resolve an assault case dating back to October, 2013.

But, according to court filings, Brown was unable to make it to the hearing and it was rescheduled for Tuesday (02Sep14).

The singer and his bodyguard were charged with beating up a young man outside a Washington, D.C. hotel. The minder, Christopher Hollosy, was convicted earlier this year (14), while Brown has rejected plea deals in relation to the case.

At the time of the incident, Brown was on probation in California for the 2009 assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
