Abomb threat that prompted authorities to search a Westchester County school has been confirmed to have come from another country, police announced.

The threat, made to the Bronxville School at 177 Pondfield Rd. on Wednesday, Sept. 11, originated from the country of Malaysia, Bronxville Police said on Thursday evening, Sept. 12.

At around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Bronxville Police received a call from the National Hotline reporting that someone had claimed to have placed bombs inside the school. Officers then responded to the building and searched its perimeter with the help of nearby other nearby police departments.

As the search went on, the school was put into a hold-in-place before eventually transitioning to a staggered dismissal of students. Once those inside were evacuated, a search of the school revealed no threat, police said.

The threat was confirmed to not be associated with any current or former students, Bronxville Police said, adding that because the department does not have a reliable relationship with any law enforcement agency in Malaysia, it is "unlikely" that an arrest will occur.

The department also added that there were threats to other schools on Long Island on Wednesday that were reported by the National Hotline.

Authorities are maintaining an increased presence in and around the school campus to reassure community members for the rest of the week, school officials said.

WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS GRAPHIC INFORMATION

Authorities charged Sean "Diddy" Combs with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and more in an indictment featuring explosive and disturbing allegations against the rapper.

Combs was arrested Monday by federal agents based on a sealed indictment, the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York confirmed. The rapper was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution in the indictment unsealed Tuesday.

"Now I want to be clear about two things. First, this office is determined to investigate and prosecute anyone who engages in sex trafficking, no matter how powerful or wealthy or famous you may be," US Attorney Damien Williams said during a press conference Tuesday. "No one should doubt our commitment on that."

"A year ago, Sean Combs stood in Times Square and was handed a key to New York City. Today, he's been indicted and will face justice in the Southern District of New York," he added. "Second, we are not done. This investigation is ongoing, and I encourage anyone with information about this case to come forward and to do it quickly."

The US District Attorney's office requested the judge deny Diddy's bail ahead of his Tuesday arraignment. However, his attorney plans to fight for the rapper to be released.

"His spirits are good. He's confident," Combs' attorney Marc Agnifilo said outside the courthouse Tuesday morning. "He is dealing with this head on, the way he's dealt with every challenge in his life. And he's not guilty. He's innocent of these charges. He's going to plead not guilty, obviously. He's going to fight this with all of his energy and all of his might and the full confidence of his lawyers. And I expect a long battle with a good result for Mr. Combs."

"I'm going to fight like hell to get him released, and he should be released," Agnifilo said. "With all that he's done and coming here voluntarily."

Authorities claimed Diddy ran a criminal enterprise through his businesses, including Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises and Combs Global, among others. He used "violence, use of firearms, threats of violence, coercion, and verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse" to fulfill his sexual desires, according to the unsealed indictment obtained by Fox News Digital.

Combs and his employees would "intimidate, threaten, and lure female victims into Comb's orbit, often under the pretense of a romantic relationship. Combs allegedly then used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers that Combs referred to as, among other things, 'Freak Offs.'"

The "Finna Get Loose" singer allegedly transported male sex workers across state and international lines for the purpose of engaging in non-consensual sex with his female victims.

Combs engaged his victims in "physical, emotional, and verbal abuse" in order to force them into participating in the "freak offs," the court docs read. Diddy would also supply drugs to the sex workers and female victims to facilitate sexual encounters.

"Freak Offs were elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded," authorities stated. Diddy often provided IV fluids to his victims following "freak offs" to recover from physical exertion and drug use, the indictment read.

Diddy allegedly maintained control of his victims by promising career opportunities or threatening to take away the same opportunities, withholding financial support, controlling the victim's housing and more.

"Combs also used the sensitive, embarrassing, and incriminating recordings that he made during Freak Offs as collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims," according to the indictment.

During raids on Diddy's home in March, authorities seized "freak off supplies" along with three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers, the court docs stated. The feds took "cases and cases of the kinds of personal lubricant and baby oil that Combs' staff allegedly used to stock hotel rooms for the freak offs - more than 1,000 bottles altogether," Williams said at a press conference.

The "I'll Be Missing You" singer was arrested in a New York City hotel lobby, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital.

Combs' legal team slammed the charges as an "unjust prosecution" in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

"Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal," Marc Agnifilo said in a statement.

"To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges," the statement continued. "Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court."

Homeland Security agents raided Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami in connection to a federal human trafficking investigation on March 25, officials confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time.

Combs faces a mountain of legal claims after multiple women accused him of sexual assault beginning in November 2023. Cassie, legally known as Casandra Ventura, alleged she endured "over a decade" of Combs' "violent behavior and disturbed demands" in a lawsuit. Combs and his ex-girlfriend settled the matter a day later outside of court.

Three more women came forward with claims just before New York's Adult Survivors Act expired in December.

Combs was also sued by music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones in February. Jones accused the rapper of forcing him to perform sexual acts with prostitutes in his lawsuit obtained by Fox News Digital.

He faces a handful of additional sexual abuse lawsuits, all of which he has denied.

Amid his legal troubles, Combs stepped down as chairman of his cable network Revolt in November.

"This decision helps to ensure that Revolt remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and African diaspora," the network said in a statement.

Not guilty...right. Just like recently when he swore that he was not guilty of beating his girlfriend, right up to when the video came out of him beating his girlfriend. Then he begged for forgiveness.

I am willing to bet there are quite a few other celebs and politicians that are guilty of sex trafficking as well. It's not just him. If Trump becomes president, they lose their power and risk being exposed for their crimes just like 'Diddy' did.

I thought Trump was intelligent?!?! I thought he surrounded himself with brilliant attorneys?!?! No? Even an average intelligent guy like me read the entire indictment and I'll be damned if it didn't state EXACTLY what the charges were. Perhaps Trump missed that class at Wharton.

Suge Knight is serving nearly 30 years in prison…he won’t be eligible for parole till like 2035 or something. R Kelly is serving a lengthy sentence as well. P Diddy will be lucky if he’s not given life no parole….

Justice mostly served as I hope is the case here.

P Diddy “was arrested in a New York City hotel lobby”.

I wonder what they found in his hotel room. Or was he more careful knowing his indictment was coming up?Any “Freak off” supplies?

Yuck. ?

It seems to me that any woman who is assaulted should be given 48 hours to report it, or it should be dropped. I am a woman, and getting a group of women to file charges so much later makes me think they are in it for money. I agree Diddy is a horrible person, but, I don't agree with coming forwar...

They are very frightened and I'm sure emotionally abused. It takes a lot to be mentally prepared to leave and get help..so no to 48hrs . I'm sure there are a few who want the money but that is a given and does not apply to the majority who finally gets the courage to come forward. IMO

If trump had handed over the documents like he was asked several times, no visit would have been necessary. But no, trump thinks he’s above the law.

Seems like when some people come into an enormous amount of wealth that it goes to their heads and they think they are invincible and can do whatever they want.

Fortunately for me, I will never have that problem and yet I have more than I need.
