-

A 35-year-old man shot in the armpit on a Brooklyn street a month ago has died.

Sean Smith and his brother were on Hendrix St. near Dumont Ave. in East New York on May 26 when five men began arguing with them at about 8 p.m., police said.

At least two of the five suspects pulled guns and shot, hitting Smith in the right armpit and a 26year-old man in the right leg as as they scrambled for cover. His brother ran from the shots but He can’t get away with that crap in jail.

A “serial toilet clogger” in Wisconsin was slapped with a 150-day sentence Monday, according to the Sheboygan Press newspaper.

Patrick Beeman, 35, was also slapped with probation for three years for clogging women’s toilets in Deland Park in Sheboygan and at his place of employment.

“I need to ... pray for forgivenes­s every day,” Beeman said at his sentencing Monday in Sheboygan County.

There were at least 12 “clogging” incidents, according to authoritie­s. was not harmed.

Medics rushed both wounded men to Brookdale University Hospital, where Smith remained in critical condition until he died Sunday.

The younger victim was treated and released.

A week after the shooting, police released surveillan­ce images of four of the five suspects and asked the public’s help identifyin­g them. There have been no arrests. Officers found a plastic bottle jamming a toilet in the women’s restroom at Deland Community Center in March, and the incidents stretched to April 2017, according to the newspaper.

Beeman’s only explanatio­n is that he would get “urges” to use objects to plug toilets. He caused about $2,000 in damage, according to Fox 6.

Seven of the original 12 charges were dropped earlier this year. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail for each of the remaining counts. He is able to work at his job, but must report to jail each day.
