HUDSON SQUARE — Police have zeroed in on a man they believe has information about a Downtown nightclub shooting at the end of the summer that left four men wounded.

The NYPD released two surveillance photos Thursday of a man in a red shirt and camouflage Yankees hat.

The violence broke out between shows inside S.O.B's at 204 Varick St. on Sept. 12.

Hip-hop fans waiting for rapper Fat Trel to take the stage for a mixtape release show scattered as bullets flew around the bar about 12:30 a.m.

Four men between the ages of 26 and 33 were hit in the legs and taken to the hospital, police said. One of the wounded was struck three times. All the men were treated and released from the hosptial.

"I heard one gun shot, then there was a pause. Everyone was like, 'Wait, was that a gun?' Then 10 to 12 seconds later, you heard two or three more. Everybody ran out of their shoes. People were screaming."

Police have not said what sparked the shooting, in which Fat Trel was not hit.

"THE INSIDE OF MY SHOW JUS GOT SHUT UP IN NYC!!!! #KKKRRAAAZZYYYY," the rapper tweeted about 30 minutes after the shooting.

Police have asked anyone with information about the shooting to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). Tipsters may also submit information in the Crime Stoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or text to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter
