TWO PEOPLE — including an innocent bystander — were shot on a busy Brooklyn street Friday, police said.

A 62-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man were wounded on Flatbush Ave. near Tilden Ave. in Flatbush at 5:15 p.m., cops said.

The teenager, who was the intended target, was hit in the upper chest and the septuagena­rian suffered a gunshot wound to her cheek, police said.

They were rushed to Kings County Hospital and are expected to survive, authoritie­s said.

A man in an orange hooded sweatshirt was arrested at the scene, witnesses told the Daily News.Nearby business owner owner David Hong said the younger victim crashed through the front door of his shop. “I heard three shots,” Hong, 42, said. “It was boom-boom-boom.”

Hong, who owns the Metro Beauty Outlet, said the bloodied man barged in and begged him to call an ambulance. “I hope he’s OK,” Hong said.
