Sean “Diddy” Combs was detained Monday night — and his arrest was captured on camera.

The embattled music mogul walked into the Park Hyatt New York hotel in a black trench coat when federal agents surrounded him, in footage obtained by TMZ Friday.

The rapper, 54, was separated from his friends, with the men left lingering in the lobby as Combs was led away.

In additional footage, the Bad Boys Records founder could be seen handcuffed and walking onto an elevator.

When Combs reappeared in the lobby, he was escorted out the front door of the hotel as pedestrians strolled by.

The outlet released footage on Tuesday of the Grammy winner laughing and smiling with fans 30 minutes ahead of his arrest.

Combs was charged the following day with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He is being held without bail in Brooklyn, N.Y., at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Combs’ arrest comes six months after the feds raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles, uncovering various supplies for his reported Freak Offs — including 1,000 bottles of lubricant.

Previously sealed court documents claimed that “Combs subjected victims to physical, emotional, and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage” in these alleged sex parties.
