Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Led Out of N.Y.C. Hotel in Handcuffs in Newly Surfaced Video of His Arrest

Video of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest, which was obtained by TMZ, shows federal agents leading the music mogul out of a Manhattan hotel.

The surveillance video shows Combs being approached by two apparent agents as he enters the hotel with a group of people with him.

Combs was arrested on Monday, Sept. 16, by Homeland Security Investigations agents, a day before he was indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. The Bad Boy Records founder had come to New York in anticipation of the charges, his lawyer said. 

In the video, Combs and the people with him appear to be caught off guard by the arrest. After a cut, Combs is seen being led in handcuffs to a bank of elevators and is eventually led back out of the hotel.

After his $50 million bail proposal was rejected by two separate judges, Combs is being held at MDC Brooklyn, a notorious federal lockup facility.

Combs pleaded guilty to all the charges against him and is due back in court in early October.

The arrest was the culmination of a months-long investigation into the music titan whose homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided earlier this year.

Prosecutors accuse Combs of arranging “freak offs,” which authorities high-orchestrated sex performances involving male sex workers and women who were allegedly forced or coerced into participating.

Prior to his arrest at the hotel, Combs had been spotted around New York, including in Central Park, where he was spotted playing hacky sack.
