Share this Story
P Diddy- real name Sean Combs- is being investigated by Los Angeles police for a reported battery.
The rapper has been accused of punching a man at a post-Oscars party.
The alleged incident occurred at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel, opposite the Kodak Theater where the Academy Awards were held on Sunday night (02.25.07).
At around 2am on Monday morning (02.26.07), victim Gerard Rechnitzer visited the bathroom and upon his return found his fiancée surrounded by six men, including Diddy.
Rechnitzer allegedly watched as the rapper flirted with his fiancée for about five minutes, before Rechnitzer asked her to leave with him.
Diddy then reportedly told the woman he was having a party and invited her.
Rechnitzer again asked her to leave with him. The rap star then allegedly punched the victim in the jaw.
Police spokesman, officer Jason Lee, said yesterday (02.27.07): "A report of battery has been made against Combs at the Roosevelt Hotel on Sunday."
Real estate agent Rechnitzer, 27, is believed to have filed the report.
The LAPD contacted Rechnitzer and five witnesses on Tuesday.
