The location where Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna

This is the location where Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna (Robyn Fenty).

It is situated outside 333 North June Street in Los Angeles, California.

On the night of February 8, 2009, the couple attended Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala at the Beverly Hilton hotel. They started arguing after a woman he had previously slept with showed up at the event.

While they were driving home, Brown gave Rihanna permission to search his phone. When she looked at it, she saw a lengthy, unread text message from the woman, in which she told Brown she was attending the gala.

By that stage, tensions between them had been simmering for a while, as Rihanna had recently caught him lying about a similar situation.

The argument became physical when Brown pulled his silver Lamborghini over and tried to force Rihanna out of the vehicle. When she resisted, Brown shoved her head against the passenger-side window, punched her in the face, and sped off again.

Brown repeatedly struck Rihanna in the face with his free hand while they were driving through Hancock Park. He also shouted that he was going to "beat the sh*t out of her" once they got home.

During a brief lull in the assault, Rihanna picked up her phone and called her assistant. The call rang out and went to voicemail, but she pretended otherwise.

During the fictitious conversation, she asked her assistant to call the police and send them to her home address.

After hearing what had been said, Brown became enraged and shouted, "You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!"

When he started punching her again, Rihanna tried to defend herself by locking her arms over her head and kneeling forward. Undeterred, he continued striking her over the head and on the left arm.

Moments later, when there was another pause in the attack, Rihanna attempted to send a text message to another personal assistant. However, Brown grabbed the phone from her hands and tossed it out the window.

As they continued driving back to the house, she picked up his phone and tried to make another phone call.

When he saw what she was trying to do, he put her in a headlock with his right arm, pulled her toward him, and then bit her on the ear. While this was unfolding, the vehicle reportedly swerved from side to side.

Moments later, he stopped at this section of North June Street.

Once the car was stationary, Rihanna turned off the engine and hid the car keys underneath her body.

Upon realizing that she had taken the keys, he punched her again and put her in a headlock, squeezing her neck so tightly that she started losing consciousness.

Struggling to breathe, she reached up and attempted to gouge his eyes. In response, Brown bit her fingers, released her from the headlock, and started punching her again.

Rihanna turned her back to the passenger-side window and used her legs to keep him at a distance. He continued to strike her on the legs but eventually stopped when she screamed for help.

Brown got out of the vehicle because he believed she had thrown the keys out the window. After looking for them for a few moments, he gave up and left the scene on foot.

While the assault was taking place, a neighbor heard the screams and called 911, prompting a police response.

When officers arrived at the scene, Rihanna told them that she had been the victim of a domestic violence assault. She also used one of the officers' phones to call her personal assistant, Melissa Ford.

Brown also called Ford and pretended as though nothing had happened. However, his tone changed when Ford told him that she had already spoken to Rihanna.

After being informed that a neighbor had called the police, he reportedly asked Ford if Rihanna had mentioned his name. When Ford said that she had, he hung up.

Brown surrendered himself to the police the following evening and was subsequently charged with two felonies: assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats.

On June 22, 2009, he pleaded guilty to the charges and was given five years of probation, six months of community service, and one year of domestic violence counseling.
