In September 2006, Brown was in Taupō for a dinner with people associated with the A1 Grand Prix race to be held in Taupō. Later that evening he was attacked, receiving serious injuries in an incident that attracted a significant level of media coverage in New Zealand. After the incident, Brown did not press charges. Nor was he charged. There were allegations of drunken behaviour and abusing a Māori woman taxi driver. As a result of the allegations, Brown was stood down by TV3. Later, he resigned from his TV3 post. Brown was also involved in an incident during his time at TV3 which saw him stripped nude and having his eyebrows shaved off by members of the All Blacks rugby team after becoming heavily intoxicated on a flight from South Africa to Australia. Ali Williams, former All Black lock, makes reference to this event in his book "Ali Tall Book of Tales". Present career

After this, Brown was a radio presenter on Times FM – a radio station based in Orewa broadcasting to the Rodney District – but can be heard in Auckland too. Brown hosted the breakfast show slot from 6am to 10am every weekday. Now, Clint Brown works as a presenter for Sky Sport Television and Prime New Zealand. See also
