The attack was called unprovoked.

The lawsuit, a copy of which was obtained by People, notes that Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell were the men involved the unprovoked attack that happened backstage of the show and that they were "severely" beaten. In addition to Brown, Sinko Ceej, Hood Boss (Omolulu Omari Akinlolu), Yella Beezy (Markies Deandre Conway) and Live Nation are also being sued.

Here's how the assault was described.

The assault was described as involving “Brown and his entourage surrounding the Plaintiffs, throwing chairs at them, and repeatedly kicking, stomping, and beating them,” per People. The lawsuit also claims that Live Nation continued its relationship with Brown despite his history of “bad conduct and violent conduct" and “shamelessly profits and promotes Brown’s The 11:11 Tour and brought Brown to Texas for financial gain."

The lawsuit included a temporary restraining order.

A temporary restraining order against Brown was included in the lawsuit. The concertgoers also are seeking compensation of $50 million for damages.

“This is Texas. The people here don’t care how important or famous you think you are, you have an obligation to follow the laws and conduct yourself in an appropriate way," Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the four men, shared in a statement. "Unprovoked violence can’t and won’t be tolerated. We intend to seek all damages that the law allows against Brown and his cohorts, to include punitive damages."

The men were allegedly invited to the VIP area of the concert.

As stated in the lawsuit, the men were invited to the VIP area of Brown's concert and allegedly waited for the "Sensational" singer for 30 minutes. Growing "tired" of waiting, Bush said he made his way to the exit where he congratulated Brown on his set. At that time, one of Brown's crew members allegedly yelled, “Man, you don’t remember you two were beefing?” The lawsuit notes that Brown replied, “Oh yeah, we were… I don’t forget s—” before telling his entourage to “f—” Bush up.

All four men required medical treatment.

Parker specifically was hospitalized and “will need to undergo extensive medical treatment" that he experienced during the attack, "including head injuries,” according to the lawsuit. The desired amount is to cover punitive damages as well as actual damages that include “pecuniary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and past, present, and future medical expenses."
