The title mol-ecule, C(9)H(4)Br(3)N, is almost planar, the maximum deviation being 0.110 (1) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak aromatic π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.802 (4) Å] between the pyridine and benzene rings of the quinoline ring systems of adjacent mol-ecules.
