Brown is accused of punching a man before snatching a gun from a security guard, as reported by The Washington Post.
He then apparently charged toward the man who he had allegedly assaulted, according to the arrest warrant.
The man claimed he was shot twice by the former football star and said he suffered a grazed neck.
Brown claimed that he was jumped at the event, which was hosted by the influencer Adin Ross, and said people tried to steal his jewelry.
The warrant was issued by cops in Miami-Dade, Florida.
He is ordered to pay a $10,000 bond before being subjected to house arrest.
Footage went viral that showed the sports star brawling.
Following the scuffle, Brown appeared to come from behind a car and was armed with a gun.
In the video, Brown could be seen charging at a group and gunshots were heard.
Rumors circulated that Brown had been arrested, but he claimed he was only detained by cops.
“I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me,” he posted on social media.
“Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me.
“I went home that night and was not arrested.”
‘BLEW MY CASH’
Before the chaos unfolded, Brown had appeared on a livestream hosted by Ross.
Brown spent 12 years playing in the NFL, but has been embroiled in legal and financial issues.
In February, the ex-wide receiver filed for bankruptcy after splurging his career earnings.
During an appearance on the Nelk Boys podcast, he revealed he made around $100 million over the course of his career.
“I blew all of my money. I blew everything,” he admitted.
Brown was part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers side that clinched the Super Bowl LV title.
The Florida team defeated the Kansas City Chiefs at the blockbuster event in Tampa, Florida.
Brown starred for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots during his career.
He was named in the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade Team and starred in the seven Pro Bowls.
