LOS ANGELES, Calif. –

Rihanna and Chris Brown have pulled out of the Grammy Awards following an alleged violent incident on Saturday night, Access Hollywood has learned.

The LAPD is currently investigating Brown for assault following an alleged domestic violence felony battery against an undisclosed woman at 12:30 AM on Sunday in Los Angeles.

According to the LAPD, the R&B singer and the woman were in a vehicle on North June St. in the Hancock Park area of LA, where the victim claims an argument occurred. Brown allegedly stopped the car and the woman suffered “visible injuries” and identified the singer as her attacker.

“Mr Brown is a suspect that we are looking for… we would definitely like to speak with him,” a spokesperson for the LAPD told Access on Sunday.

When contacted by Access on Sunday night, a rep for Rihanna said that the singer was “well.”

“Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support,” the rep said.

A rep for Chris Brown did not return calls from Access.

On Saturday evening, the music couple walked the red carpet separately at the Grammy Salute to Industry Icons honoring Clive Davis at the Beverly Hilton, and were spotted smiling together inside the party.

Rihanna was set to perform and is nominated for three Grammys, while Brown is up for two awards at the ceremony.

I was just watching the Live From The Red Carpet on E! where Ryan Seacrest was discussing the story and mentioned that Chris Brown was set to perform and they had not heard yet if he would show or not. Some how i doubt he will surface. Ryan was also saying that Chris and Rihanna were at Clive’s party together and seemed very happy. We don’t know if the woman making the accusations is indeed Rihanna or another female. The altercation took place inside a lemo after Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party.

Rumors have been circulating for some time that Rihanna is both obsessive and suspecting of boyfriend Chris Brown. She’s been mentioned on several gossip sites as having hired people to follow Chris Brown around while he is on tour and she is not their to make sure he is behaving with the ladies.

I’ll update this as soon as I found out more facts on what really went down and exactly what Chris is suspected of doing last night.

Update:

Neither Chris Brown or Rihanna will be at the Grammys tonight they have both officially pulled out… a little suspect to me that Rihanna has pulled her self out as she is up for 3 Grammys- and the report released mentioned the female victim as having visible signs of abuse. Chris Brown was scheduled to perform and was also up for 2 Grammys- word is Timberlake may replace him as a performer tonight.

**Update:

Brown has turned himself in, TMZ reported. According to the LA Times, the alleged assault was against Rihanna. The LAPD could not confirm either report.

***Update:

Chris Brown has officially been booked into the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department. His bail has been set at $50,000. Police have charged Brown with one count felony criminal threats. Chris Brown has paid his bail and been released.
