Six people were shot and one slashed in four separate incidents near the route of the West Indian Day Parade in Crown Heights on Monday evening, police said.

The bloodshed followed a largely peaceful weekend as New Yorkers celebrated Caribbean heritage at the annual event, which typically draws hundreds of thousands of people and various elected officials to Brooklyn.

But the event also has a history of violence that police and community groups had sought to stave off this year with thousands of officers and hundreds of nonprofit workers.

All seven people injured Monday were in stable condition as of Tuesday morning, according to NYPD officials. One man was arrested on weapon charges, and police recovered a gun from him, officials said as they continued to investigate.

The NYPD released the following information about the incidents:

Shooting on Eastern Parkway near Utica Avenue

Police responded to the first shooting on Eastern Parkway near Utica Avenue at about 5:35 p.m., while the parade was still traveling down the thoroughfare in Central Brooklyn. Two people were shot, including a man in his 20s, who was struck in the leg and a woman in her 40s, who was grazed on her buttocks, according to an NYPD spokesperson.

Slashing near Nostrand Avenue and Eastern Parkway

At about 6 p.m., an assailant armed with a knife slashed a man several times near the corner of Nostrand Avenue and Eastern Parkway, according to the NYPD. The victim refused to be treated by medics at the scene and police have made no arrests in that attack, according to the NYPD.

Shooting near Eastern Parkway and Classon Avenue

Around 6:55 p.m., NYPD officers found a 36-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the shoulder and 21-year-old with a gunshot wound to the chest near Classon Avenue and Eastern Parkway, according to Officer Carolina Cavitolo, a department spokesperson.

First responders rushed both victims to Kings County Hospital in stable condition, police said.

Police said there have been no arrests in that shooting.

Shooting at Nostrand Avenue and Sterling Street

Around 7 p.m., a gunman shot two other people near the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Sterling Street, several blocks from the parade route, according to the NYPD.

The gunman in that incident shot a 53-year-old man in the neck and right leg, as well as a 40-year-old woman in the left ankle, police said. Medics rushed the man to Kings County Hospital in critical condition, according to the NYPD. The woman traveled to the same hospital on her own where she is in stable condition, an NYPD spokesperson said.

Police arrested 31-year-old Dashawn Fleming in connection with the shooting and charged him with criminal weapons possession and criminal possession of a firearm, according to officials. Officers recovered a gun from him, police said. Information for Fleming's attorney was not immediately available early Tuesday.

It’s too early in the investigation to know if the pair were the intended targets of the shooting or if they were innocent bystanders, Cavitolo said.
