Brooklyn

He’s nicknamed “Trigger” — and apparently for good reason.

Dexter “Trigger” Harris, 22, has been charged with bashing another man in the face with a .40 caliber handgun at Monday’s West Indian Day Parade before loading that weapon and indiscriminately firing it into a crowd of approximately 400 terrified revelers, sources said yesterday.

The shooting occurred just after 5 p.m. in front of 516 Eastern Parkway after Harris smashed Theron Bullock, 17, in the face with the gun, then loaded and fired it in a failed bid to hit Bullock.

Harris’ errant shot instead wounded innocent bystander Archibald Lindsay, 28, in the leg.

Two NYPD detectives in uniform — Ryner Fehrenbach and Hector Salas — arrested Harris after a short chase, sources said.

Harris has nine prior arrests, including at least two on gun charges, sources said.

On Aug. 31, Glick and a knife-wielding accomplice grabbed a cellphone and $200 from a victim at 6:30 p.m., then struck again at 9:45 p.m., snatching a BlackBerry smartphone and credit cards from another victim, court papers state.
