The title compound, C(20)H(15)BrN(2)O(2), crystallized with three independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Intramolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds induce coplanarity of the substituted benzene ring and the benzimidazole ring, with mean deviations from the planes of 0.0931 (10), 0.0448 (10) and 0.0083 (11) Å in the three mol-ecules.
