Sean "Diddy" Combs, commenting via a representative, indicated that the altercation he was arrested for involving a coach at UCLA was the result of self-defense.
Combs was eventually charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and released on bail. The Combs team indicated they believed the case would be dismissed after the details surrounding the incident become apparent.
Their official response, released by a Combs representative, included the following:
"…any actions taken by Mr. Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son."
As I note in the video, it sounds like an enraged or angry father, for whatever reason, confronted a coach, and during that confrontation, it got physical. Depending on what occurred, it could be absolutely nothing or it could be almost a felony.
When you're looking at a self defense situation, you look at the past and you look at everybody's whole life and how they react in certain situations, and you make a decision.
As noted in the video by reporter Patrick Healy, a filing decision may be made within a week or two from the incident, and if the District Attorney passes as a felony, it could go then to the City Attorney as a misdemeanor.
