By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 20:14 EST, 15 June 2012 | UPDATED: 20:22 EST, 15 June 2012 Chris Brown has insisted that fellow R&B star Drake was responsible for their vicious fight in a New York nightclub earlier this week. He has apparently told police that he is a 'victim' and that Drake was the one who started the brawl that sent Brown and several others to hospital on Wednesday night. The fight, which apparently stemmed from a row over Brown's ex-girlfriend Rihanna, left an Australian tourist needing 16 stitches after she was caught in the crossfire.
