Here's the moment Diddy's whole life changed ... TMZ has the first video of federal agents making their surprise arrest in an NYC hotel lobby -- potentially his final moment of freedom for at least the next decade.

The video clearly shows Diddy, clad in a black trench coat, walking into the Park Hyatt New York hotel in midtown Manhattan with his crew of several men -- but the moment he enters the lobby, law enforcement pounces, stops the mogul and separates him from his friends.

You can see from Diddy's team's reaction ... they're unsure of what's happening, walking around the hotel lobby in shock as the rapper's taken away. More on that later.

A cop and at least one passenger were injured in an NYC subway station when police opened fire on a man allegedly brandishing a knife ... and the intense scene was all caught on body cam.

In the footage from last Sunday in Brooklyn ... police can be heard yelling at a man to "drop the knife" he is holding -- a pretty wicked-looking long blade -- tasing him multiple times to no avail before he begins to chase after the one officer, resulting in them firing multiple rounds at him.

The suspect ... still holding the knife with a look of disbelief on his face ... falls to the floor with blood starting to pool around him, when one of the officers yells that he was hit by one of the rounds.

While her lawyers cited a local government ordinance that created a revival period for claims, Diddy's team says New York State Law takes precedence ... and state law says the time has come and gone for CM to make her claim.

Ryan Garcia's been trollin' Devin Haney heavy for his alleged link to Diddy ... but the boxing star tells TMZ Sports at the end of the day, it's no laughing matter.

The allegations center around alleged "Freak Off" parties ... and with photos showing Haney with Diddy in the past, Garcia has trolled Devin on social media.

Baldwin's lawyers lay out the whole narrative of the trial as they see it ... saying the state's egregious misconduct in concealing certain ammunition evidence merited dismissal of the case -- and they urge the court to stand by that decision.
