LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hip-hop music mogul Diddy was arrested on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles Monday afternoon, where his son is on the football team.

Campus police say he was arrested at UCLA's Acosta Athletic Training Complex on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon shortly after 12:30 p.m. Diddy's real name is Sean Combs.

No one was seriously injured and campus police are investigating. Officials did not identify the victim of the assault, or say what led to it. The deadly weapon was identified as a kettlebell, which is used by athletes in weight training.

Combs' son Justin Combs is a redshirt junior defensive back on the UCLA football team, which has been practicing on campus. He has played in just a handful of games in his three years with the team.
