Fabolous' group was leaving the Diddy-owned restaurant Justin's when an unidentified man opened fire on them, hitting the rapper in the thigh, said a NYPD spokesperson.  
  
Police responding to a call about the shooting pulled the four men over as they ran a red light. Officers found two loaded and unlicensed guns in the car and arrested the men on pending charges.  
  
Fabolous was brought to a hospital and is in stable condition. The whereabouts and identity of the shooter are still being investigated.It is the fourth arrest since 2003 for the rapper, who has a new album hitting stores in December.
