Diddy’s Lawyer Saved Person’s Life As Mogul Awaited Sentencing

Diddy was awaiting a judge’s decision on his $1 million bail request when a man collapsed and began seizing violently on the marble floor of the Manhattan courthouse.

The medical emergency unfolded Wednesday (July 3) on the 26th floor of the federal courthouse just moments after Diddy’s legal team submitted his bail application.

Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo, representing Diddy in the high-profile case, rushed to the man’s side without hesitation.

“I can’t imagine a busier five-minute period in my life,” Agnifilo told The New York Post. “I’m going down to see Combs. Everything was so intense, and my mind was on the case, and I walk out, and a man falls and is clearly seizing. It seemed pretty dire. I was worried about him.”

The man, whose identity has not been released, began convulsing and “repeatedly slamming his head against the marble floor, blood and vomit pouring from his mouth,” according to witnesses.

Agnifilo, who said he had prior experience handling seizures, immediately placed the man in a recovery position.

“I’ve just dealt with lots of seizures. I just know exactly what to do because I’ve dealt with this before,” he said.

His law partner, Jacob Kaplan, supported the man’s head and slid a backpack underneath it to prevent further injury.

Agnifilo’s daughter Sofia, a paralegal on the case and an unidentified member of Diddy’s family, checked the man’s pulse and monitored his breathing until EMS arrived.

The man was eventually carried out on a stretcher. His current condition has not been released by authorities.

The incident occurred as Diddy was in court following his conviction for transporting a person to engage in prostitution.

He was acquitted of more serious trafficking charges. The judge denied Combs’ $1 million bail request. His next hearing is set for July 8, while sentencing is scheduled for October 3.
