Five people were shot and two people stabbed in the Big Apple overnight as the Father’s Day weekend came to a close, authorities said Monday.

Three men were hurt in a shooting that erupted around 12:45 a.m. Monday during a late-night barbecue on Beach 95th Street near Beach Channel Drive in Rockaway Beach, cops said. 

A 56-year-old man was blasted in the right arm, a 37-year-old struck in the torso and 21-year-old in the buttocks, police said. 

All three were taken by private means to local hospitals, where they were listed in stable condition.  

The shooter fled in an unknown direction, and no arrests had been made by later in the morning. 

Police could not immediately say whether any of the three victims were targeted or innocent bystanders.

New York City wasn’t the only place to see violence over the weekend.

At least one person was killed and 22 injured at a Juneteenth celebration in Chicago early Sunday.

And in Washington State, two people were killed in a shooting outside a sold-out music festival Saturday night.
