The Internet has been abuzz tonight over the appearance of a photo purported to be of Rihanna after she was allegedly assaulted by Chris Brown. The picture (below) is a close-up of a young woman with her eyes closed and bruises and cuts on her forehead, lips and cheeks.
Los Angeles police spokesman Sgt. Ronnie Crump declined to comment on the photo.
"The LAPD by practice does not release photographs of victims of domestic violence," Crump says. "They are considered a protected class of people."
Some sites have chosen not to post the picture, due to the nature of the case.
Brown, 19, who released a statement saying he is "sorry and saddened," was arrested on a felony criminal threat charge Feb. 8. His case has not yet been presented by police to prosecutors.
Rihanna, who has not appeared in public since the alleged attack hours before the Grammy Awards, turns 21 on Friday.
OMG!
