The accuser stopped cooperating with law enforcement and also gave different versions of the incident, the Manhattan district attorney's office said, and prosecutors weren't able to prove criminal charges beyond a reasonable doubt.
The 31-year-old accuser told police he and Combs had been arguing over a woman early in the morning of Oct. 13 before the rap mogul punched him in the face.
Combs' attorney, Benjamin Brafman, called the incident a disagreement between acquaintances who have known each other for 12 years.
Brafman said he was pleased that no charges would be filed against the 38-year-old Combs.
"Both Mr. Combs and I are pleased that the DA's office and the police department conducted a very thorough investigation and came to this conclusion," Brafman said.
