DIDDY FIGHTS FOR HIS WOMAN
October 16, 2007
Sean "Diddy" Combs will be charged with assault after allegedly attacking a SoHo clubgoer over the weekend, according to the New York Post.
Police interviewed witnesses after Combs reportedly roughed up Steven Acevedo at the trendy New York spot Kiosk. Acevedo, 31, who is in the clothing business, apparently dated Diddy's current gal pal, the paper reports.
A source told the paper that the woman was not at the club, and possibly not even in the country, when the fight broke out between her former and current boyfriends.
Acevedo told cops that the pair got into an argument at the club around 3:30 a.m. and then briefly separated before starting to fight again.
Combs clocked him twice in the face, busting his lip and bloodying his nose, Acevedo claims.
At one point, Combs allegedly screamed at his foe, "I'll kill you, punk!"
Acevedo told police that one of Combs' bodyguards lifted his shirt as if to signal that he had a gun.
The alleged victim said he left the club and then called the cops to report the incident from home about an hour later.
Investigators are now going back to witnesses to try to determine whether the bodyguard was armed.
