Diddy never seemed happier than on the streets of his hometown of New York Monday night — a scene that offered no hint the music mogul would soon end up in federal custody facing a criminal indictment.
TMZ obtained new video of Diddy interacting with several excited fans on a darkened street in Midtown Manhattan approximately 30 minutes before federal agents arrested him at the Park Hyatt hotel nearby.

Check out the footage … Diddy was having a very friendly chat with four dudes — and everyone was wearing bright smiles on their faces. Diddy was so energized he gave a handshake to one of the guys who bowed and started laughing.
Diddy was also filmed talking in an animated fashion to two of the same men, while jerking his body up and down.
We have also obtained footage of Diddy and his crew hanging right outside the Park Hyatt Hotel shortly before he was arrested.
