Sean "Diddy" Combs was shocked to see federal agents in his hotel building in New York before he was arrested earlier this week, and it was all caught on camera.

According to footage TMZ published on Friday, September 20, the New York native walked into the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown with his entourage when he was approached by federal agents in the lobby. Combs' team looked just as surprised as he was while the feds took him away. In the next scene, the arresting agents held Combs' hands behind his back as they entered an elevator. The video ends with Combs being walked out of the hotel lobby through the main entrance while in handcuffs.

Combs was in New York City a few days earlier because he knew a criminal indictment was coming. He originally planned to turn himself in on Tuesday, however, federal agents decided to take him into custody the night before. Prior to his arrest, Diddy had been seen in a couple of locations around the city like Harlem where he took photos with his children and some fans. He was also spotted outside his hotel just moments before he was arrested.

The Bad Boy founder has been charged with sex trafficking by force, coercion or fraud, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. He was denied bail twice and now resides at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Combs could face a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
