Five people were shot across the city Monday and Tuesday, according to police.

In the most recent incident, which happened around 2:10 a.m. Tuesday at 108th Street and Roosevelt Avenue in Corona, a man in his 30s was slashed in the head and shot in the chest, cops said.

He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center in stable condition.

Cops did not have a description of the suspect or know what led to the attack.

On Monday, four people were reported shot in as many incidents, according to preliminary figures released by the NYPD.

Two of those shootings were fatal — including one in which a homeless gunman shot a Jamaica deli employee, according to cops.

Steven Cohen, 63, went into the Cross Bay Express deli on Cross Bay Boulevard near Pitkin Avenue in Jamaica around 6 p.m. and started “acting disorderly,” police said.

Two employees, 26-year-old Mohmediyan Tarwala and a 32-year-old man, escorted him out of the store, according to authorities.

But Cohen went back inside and allegedly shot Tarwala, striking him in the stomach — and fired at but missed the other worker.

Tarwala was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center early Tuesday.

Cohen was tackled, disarmed and arrested by off-duty cop Jason Maharaj of Brooklyn’s 77th Precinct — who happened to be inside the store at the time.

Cohen was charged with murder, attempted murder and criminal use of a firearm, cops said.

The other homicide came in broad daylight, at Morris and Greenwich streets in the Financial District. A 46-year-old man fatally shot a 40-year-old woman, believed to be his wife, before turning the weapon on himself, cops said.

On Monday’s date in 2019, which was a Saturday, four shootings were reported with six victims, cops said.
