Rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested Monday at UCLA after allegedly assaulting someone affiliated with the football team with a kettlebell, according to school officials.
Combs' son Justin Combs is a redshirt junior defensive back on the UCLA football team, which has been practicing on campus, according to The Associated Press. He has played only several games in three years with the team.
Combs, 45, was arrested at the Acosta Athletic Training Complex for assault with a deadly weapon just after 12:30 p.m. (3:30 p.m. ET), according a statement from the school. The deadly weapon was a kettlebell, which athletes use in weight training.
No one was seriously injured.
Combs remains at the UCLA jail, but is expected to be transferred to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department jail facility later, according to the statement.
The UCLA police department confirmed to NBC Los Angeles that Combs has been arrested.
Football coach Jim Mora issued a written statement, saying, "I’m thankful that our staff showed the level of professionalism that they did in handling this situation. This is an unfortunate incident for all parties involved. While UCPD continues to review this matter, we will let the legal process run its course and refrain from further comment at this time."
Combs' publicist, Nathalie Moar, declined to comment "until all of the facts are sorted out."
