LOS ANGELES — Rihanna has postponed a concert appearance in Malaysia this week after allegedly being injured by her boyfriend, Chris Brown, in a domestic assault early Sunday.
Rihanna's Los Angeles-based reps informed Malaysia's Pineapple Concerts that a show slated for Friday would have to be rescheduled to an unspecified date "in light of recent events involving Rihanna," Pineapple Concerts said in a statement to The Associated Press.
The postponed date is part of the pop star's ongoing "Good Girl Gone Bad" tour.
Brown, 19, and Rihanna, 20, attended a pre-Grammy party together Saturday night, but according to the Los Angeles Times, she was the victim in the singer's alleged attack against a woman the police have refused to identify.
According to police reports, Brown got into an argument with a woman as they sat in a parked car in the city's Hancock Park neighborhood shortly after midnight.
"After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated," the LAPD said in a statement. "The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker."
The LAPD received a 911 call reporting the disturbance. When officers arrived they found the victim, but Brown had already left the scene.
Brown later turned himself into authorities in the evening, where he was booked on suspicion of making a criminal threat.
Brown later posted a $50,000 bail and was released. He is due back in court on March 5.
Both Brown and Rihanna were scheduled to perform at Sunday's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, but each of them cancelled their appearances.
