New details about the altercation between Chris Brown and Rihanna have emerged. According to a source close to the couple, "Chris knocked her around." The source continues, "Black eye, blood, bruises. She had to be treated by a doctor."

The police confirms that Rihanna suffered a black eye, a swollen split lip, and two bruises on either side of her forehead. The source close to the couple describes the police photos of Rihanna saying, "She looked distraught and in a lot of pain. Her eyes were closed because she was looking down."

Rihanna is at a safe place and is cooperating with the police. The case will be turned over to district attorney's office on Tuesday or Wednesday. The prosecutors may then charge Brown with more crimes. The case can be affected by how much she is willing to forgive Brown though. "Prosecutors back off somewhat when they see a couple trying to work out their own issues," says Steve Sitkoff, an L.A. defense attorney. But, says the friend, "I would be so sad if she went back to him."

Currently both stars have cancelled their upcoming appearances.

This incident has surprised Brown's fans and friends. Chris Brown was known for his charm and Michael Jackson-style moves. He was seen as a good kid. His high school gym teacher from Tappahannock, Va., Lyn Amos says, "I've never known Chris to be combative." A restaurant owner whio has known Brown since he was a child, Jean Segar says, "He's always low-key, easygoing." Segar continues, "He's such a mild-mannered person. It's hard for me to believe [the charge]."

The biggest shock was that Chris Brown claimed his mother was physically abused by his former stepfather. "He made me terrified all the time," Brown told Giant, adding, "I hate him to this day."

The abuse allegations may have an impact on Brown's career. On Monday, Wrigley temporarily suspended his Doublemint commercials, and as an industry source points out, "A lot of his fans are women."

I hope Rihanna does not even consider forgiving Chris Brown.
