Sean “Diddy” Combs was spotted in Central Park the day before his sex trafficking arrest.

The rapper, 54, was photographed playing hacky sack and frisbee with friends in the New York City park around 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15. Per his lawyer Marc Agnifilo, Combs had relocated to New York City two weeks prior to surrender to the U.S. district attorneys.

A witness alleges that Combs, who was dressed casually in a tank top and sunglasses, told his friends, “I wish I could throw a frisbee," according to the New York Post.

The musician’s friendly interaction came just one day before he was arrested for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution at the Park Hyatt in Manhattan on Monday, Sept. 16, according to a federal indictment. The music mogul was arrested at 8:25 p.m.

The next day, Combs' indictment was unsealed, outlining the disturbing details of the allegations against him, including how he allegedly forced victims to participate in "freak offs" which are described in court documents as "elaborate and produced sex performances."

The rapper allegedly used drugs like cocaine, ketamine and oxycodone, as well as his influence to coerce and intimidate women to join the "freak offs." Additionally, the "freak offs” were sometimes allegedly captured on camera without the victims' knowledge.

of baby oil were recovered among the "freak off supplies" when Combs' Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided in March.

That same day, Combs' attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said during Combs' arraignment hearing that the music mogul is in “treatment and therapy for things that most respectfully he needs treatment and therapy for and he’s getting that." The attorney did not detail what Diddy is in treatment for, citing confidentiality.

During his court date, Combs pleaded not guilty. His attorneys proposed a $50 million bail package that would've included a $50,000 bond for him. But the Bad Boy Records founder was denied bail and remanded to custody as he awaits trial.

Additionally, prosecutors also alleged Combs had what appeared to be drugs in the hotel room where he was arrested on Monday.
