Rihanna is reported to have told police that Chris Brown nearly killed her!

According to reports, Brown choked Rihanna into unconsciousness while threatening to kill her, and fortunately for Rihanna, he had second thoughts and didn’t finish the job.

The police source, attributed to ET* says an argument between the two got out of hand shortly after midnight on Sunday morning, when Brown pulled his brown Lamborghini to the side of the road in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles. Rihanna reportedly grabbed Brown’s keys and threw them out the car window, which threw Brown into a rage.

After unsuccessfully trying to find the keys, Brown returned to the car, wrapped his hands around Rihanna’s neck and said, “I’m going to kill you!”

Rihanna told police that she passed out out at that point, only to find that Brown had fled when she came to.

Earlier reports didn’t mention any neck bruising, but did say how bad Rihanna looked. It just keeps getting worse for Brown. The biggest question though is what is he doing out on bail? An average person wouldn’t have been released given how serious these charges now appear to be.
