BROOKLYN — Cops arrested one of two men being sought in connection to an East Flatbush shooting over the weekend that injured nine people, authorities said.

Tyrone Brown, 24, and another man started feuding with the attendants of a party near Clarendon Road and East 52nd Street about 1 a.m. Sunday when they opened fire on the revelers, according to the NYPD.

Nine people between the ages of 18 and 43 were shot, mostly in their legs, but two were shot in the torso, police said.

They were all treated at hospitals and listed in stable condition, an NYPD spokesman said.

Brown and his associate were enraged with the partygoers either kicked them out of the gathering or barred them from entering it, he added.

Brown was arrested Tuesday and is expected to be charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal posession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment, cops said.

The other man who was involved in the shooting was still at large Wednesday, an NYPD spokesman said.
