Rapper and entrepreneur Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested Monday on the UCLA campus on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, police said.
No one was seriously hurt in the alleged assault involving a kettlebell — a large, cast iron ball with a handle — police said. Combs was arrested at the Acosta Athletic Training Complex, and is expected to be taken to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Inmate Reception Center Monday evening.
