He just went nuts the witness said of Brown. These guys just jumped in a photo. It was a joke.

The Don t Judge Me singer s attorney Mark Geragos declined to comment Sunday.

But a source close to Brown told the Daily News the accuser is fabricating the facts of the fisticuffs.

Bill McCay/WireImage Brown performed in Philadelphia on Friday just days before his weekend arrest.

The source said the accuser was trying to get onto Brown s tour bus when Hollosy stopped him and an altercation broke out.

The report of the slur is total bulls t. There was no slur and this whole picture thing is pure nonsense the source said. These guys were trying to trespass on the bus.

The violence erupted about two hours after Brown performed at The Park at Fourteen nightclub just four blocks from where the beating occurred. The gig was part of homecoming festivities for Howard University.

Brown is set to appear in Los Angeles court Nov. 20 for a probation hearing for the Rihanna assault. The arrest could result in Brown s probation being revoked and him getting sent to the slammer.

The incident comes after a string of recent trouble involving Brown including a January fight over a parking space with openly gay singer Frank Ocean and a bottle throwing nightclub brawl last year with rapper Drake.

Cops said the accusations remain under investigation.
