A police report has been filed accusing Russell Brand of sexual assault.

The report — which was filed by a woman with London's Metropolitan Police on Sunday, according to The Independent and the Daily Beast — comes after Brand was accused Saturday of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse by four women over a seven-year period from 2006 to 2013.

The report alleges Brand sexually assaulted the unnamed woman in central London in 2003.

Brand has denied the previous allegations, calling them "extremely egregious and aggressive attacks and some pretty stupid stuff."

The Messenger reached out to Brand's lawyer and manager about the report filed Sunday.

Brand's upcoming live shows have been postponed on Monday in the wake of the accusations.

The U.K.'s Royal Windsor Theatre shared a statement provided by Brand's touring company, reading, "We are postponing these few remaining addiction charity fundraiser shows, we don't like doing it – but we know you'll understand."

Brand was scheduled to perform a sold-out show at the venue on Tuesday.

The allegations against the comedian, published Saturday in The Times of London, come as a result of a joint investigation by The Sunday TimesThe Times and Channel 4's Dispatches.

According to one account, a woman accused Brand of raping her against a wall at his Los Angeles home in 2012.

Another woman accused Brand of being emotionally abusive and controlling during their three-month long relationship, including one instance when he allegedly "forced his penis down her throat."

A third woman accused Brand of assault when the two worked together in Los Angeles in 2013. She alleged Brand grabbed her, pinned her down on a bed and tried to remove her clothes.

Jordan Martin, an ex-girlfriend of Brand's, also wrote about being sexually assaulted by Brand during her six-month relationship in 2007 in her self-published 2014 book kNot: Entanglement with a Celebrity.
