Chris Brown is being investigated by police for allegedly slapping a woman.

The Run It singer has been accused of lashing out at the unnamed female at his Los Angeles home over the weekend.

Sources told RadarOnline.com that the woman called police from the property in the San Fernando Valley and told officers Chris had smacked the back of her head and caused her weave to fall off.

Police took a battery report, which named the 32-year-old singer as a suspect.

Insiders said the woman had no visible injuries but her weave was "dislodged".

The Loyal singer has yet to comment on the allegations.

The allegation comes just over two months after the Yo singer was visited by police over a house party.

Officers "responded to a loud noise call" in the early hours of May 6 while Brown was celebrating his birthday and shut down the bash after getting full co-operation from those in attendance.

The Los Angeles Police Department did not state how many guests were in attendance at the gathering, however, they estimated that there were between 300 and 500 cars parked nearby.

And in April, Brown was sued by his former housekeeper, Patricia Avila, who claimed the singer's dog attacked her sister, Maria, when they were cleaning his home on 12 December last year.

According to the lawsuit, Maria - who was bitten around her eye and her leg and had "several inches" of skin missing from her arm - needed two surgeries and spent several days in hospital, while Avila "suffered severe emotional distress" including post traumatic stress disorder, severe anxiety, depression, and panic attacks.

The housekeeper is "reluctant to leave her home and cannot stop re-living the pain that she experienced as she watched her sister suffer through that horrendous attack that day", and as a result is seeking unspecified financial damages, citing loss of wages due to being unable to work, medical bills, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
