I won't press charges against Chris Brown, says Ocean

R&B star Frank Ocean has said he will not pursue criminal charges against singer Chris Brown, who is alleged to have punched him in a recent fight.

“As a child I thought if someone jumped me it would result in me murdering or mutilating a man,” Ocean said on his Tumblr page. “But as a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity. No criminal charges. No civil lawsuit.”
