Singer's entourage hurt in fight

Bobby Brown was performing at the time of the fight

Two members of singer Bobby Brown's entourage were stabbed in a fight in the early hours of Monday at a US restaurant where he was performing.

Brown, 36, was taking part in an open microphone event at Justin's Restaurant and Bar in Atlanta, Georgia.

Police said the singer - who is married to Whitney Houston - was not involved in the incident but the cause of the fight was not immediately known.

Shayne Brown, 21, and Kelsey Brown, 20, were stable in hospital on Monday.

Police investigation

Police sergeant Kevin Losty said it was not known whether the two men were related to the singer.

The men are believed to have been hurt after a verbal altercation broke out at around 0130 local time (0530 GMT).

Detective DL Dixon said: "There was a lot of music and talking going on.

"It could have been something as simple as a bump, you know, somebody bumped into each other."

Justin's Restaurant and Bar is owned by rapper and producer Sean "P Diddy" Combs.

Brown's lawyer, Vincent L Dimmock, said Combs and his Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment Group were co-operating with the police investigation.
