* A man has been arrested for slashing an acquaintance during a robbery in an East Flatbush homeless shelter, authorities said yesterday.

Pasquince, 31, allegedly hurled an object into the car, igniting it.

Pasquince’s in-laws have been involved in an ongoing beef with the woman, the sources said.

The suspect fled.

Later, the woman saw another person step up to her 1989 Toyota Camry and ignite it.
