LOS ANGELES — (CNN) Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested Monday, accused of assaulting someone with a kettlebell at the university where his son plays football.
No one was seriously injured in the incident at the Acosta Athletic Training Complex on the University of California at Los Angeles campus, which took place around 12:30 p.m., said school spokesman Phil Hampton.
Officials did not disclose the alleged victim of the assault. But TMZ,which first reported the story, said Combs scuffled with a coach during a practice session.
Combs’ son Justin is a red-shirt defensive back on the school’s football team.

Combs was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery, the university said.
Bond was set at $160,000 and Combs will have to appear in court on July 13, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
Shortly before the incident, Combs, 45, posted a photo on his Facebook page of a father-son football game, with the caption, “WE WON! Happy Father’s Day.” It isn’t known when or where the photo was taken.
“I’m thankful that our staff showed the level of professionalism that they did in handling this situation,” UCLA football coach Jim Mora said in a statement. “This is an unfortunate incident for all parties involved.”
The coach said the school won’t be commenting further as it lets the “the legal process run its course.”
