A MAN WAS fatally shot during a wild brawl at a Long Island club that left another man wounded by gunfire and three men stabbed.

The melee erupted about 3:20 a.m. inside 105 Grados, a nightclub on Sunrise Highway in Lindenhurs­t, and quickly spilled outside.

“My puppy was sleeping with me and then started barking early in the morning,” neighbor German Rivas, 35, told Newsday. “I heard arguing outside and then I heard the gunshots.”

Two men were hit by gunfire as the fight spilled out of control.

Medics rushed Herminio Torres, 25, of Elizabeth, N.J., to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip but he could not be saved.

A second victim, a 26-year-old man, ran off in the mayhem but soon showed up at an area hospital, where he was treated for a minor gunshot wound, cops said.

Three other men — a 23-yearold, a 28-year-old and a 35-yearold — were stabbed during the clash and taken to area hospitals with minor injuries.

No arrests have been made.
