A new polymorph of the title compound, C8H8BrNO, has been determined at 173 K in the space group P21/c. The previous room-temperature structure was reported to crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 [Andreetti et al. (1968). Acta Cryst. B24, 1195–1198]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—HO hydrogen bonds forming chains along [010]. Weak C—Hπ interactions are also present.
