US man punched by Chris Brown settles lawsuit

Washington - The lawyer for a man who was punched by singer Chris Brown outside a Washington hotel says he has settled a lawsuit against the singer.

The Washington Post reports that John C. Hayes, the attorney for Parker Adams, confirmed on Thursday that a settlement had been reached. He did not say how much the settlement was worth. He did not immediately respond to requests for information from The Associated Press.

The settlement was first reported by TMZ.

Brown pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault on Sept. 2. The singer admitted hitting Adams, who tried to get in a picture that the singer was taking with two women outside the W hotel in October 2013. Adams suffered a broken nose.

Brown was sentenced to time served.
