One man was shot and critically injured, and another stabbed, on the same Brooklyn street corner where two people were wounded by gunfire last week, cops said Monday.
Police officers on patrol arrived at the corner on Bainbridge St. near Malcolm X. Blvd. in Bedford-Stuyvesant about 6:20 p.m. to find a gunman opening fire at two men, cops said.
Cops arrested the shooter, and recovered his weapon, an NYPD spokeswoman said.
One victim, 36, was shot in the chest, and was in critical condition, police said. Officers initially thought a second victim, 30, was also shot, but it turned out he was stabbed in the chest, cops said.
The bloodshed occurred at the same spot as where two men, 27 and 34, were shot in the leg June 8. Police haven’t made an arrest in that shooting.

“It’s the same corner as the other day, except those guys were lying in the street," said Hussein Ahmed, 19, who works at a deli on the corner.

Ahmad said he witnessed Monday’s violence up-close.

“There were two people shot. One was lying face-up shot in the back. People were standing around him but he wasn’t conscious. The other was in the street," he said.

Also Monday, a man was shot in the back and a woman was grazed by a bullet fragment at the Woodside Houses complex on Broadway and 51st St. just after 7:15 p.m., cops said.

The 31-year-old victim was shot in a walkway at the development, and staggered around the corner before collapsing in a courtyard, while fireworks were being set off nearby, sources and a witness said.

“They shot him while I was going from building to building making deliveries,” said Irvin Ramirez, 31, who works for UPS. “He fell five feet from my truck. He was face down. It happened while the fireworks were going on. You couldn’t tell what was what.”

Medics took both victims to Elmhurst Hospital with non life-threatening wounds.
