A GUNMAN shot and wounded a fellow patron inside a bar next to Coney Island’s Brooklyn Cyclones ballfield early Saturday, police said.

The shooter blasted Jaquin Royall, 36, in his head, stomach and buttocks inside Steeplecha­se Beer Garden on Surf Ave. near W. 16th St. in Coney Island around 1:50 a.m., according to authoritie­s.

Medics rushed Royall to NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn in stable condition.

First responders found a gun next to Royall, who is on parole for a previous gun-possession charge, sources said. Cops were investigat­ing whether it was the shooter’s weapon.

There were no immediate arrests.

Steeplecha­se Beer Garden sits just outside the gates of MCU Park, the Brooklyn Cyclones’ ballfield where the fabled Steeplecha­se Amusement Park once stood.
