Eleven people were shot across Gotham on Labor Day, capping off a bloody weekend — but not a single shooting was reported early Tuesday, cops said.

The most recent shooting victim was a 34-year-old man who was blasted in his right ankle on Eagle Avenue near East 156th Street in the Bronx around 9:30 p.m., according to cops and police sources.

He was taken to Lincoln Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

The shooting took place during a dispute, and two male suspects remain at large.

Among the other Monday victims was 6-year-old Maxwell Cesc-Dinho, whose femur was shattered by a bullet near a pre-dawn J’Ouvert celebration at Crown Street and Nostrand Avenue during J’Ouvert celebrations.

His mother, 47-year-old Patricia Brathwaite, was also injured, as were three other people.

Hours later, Michael Scully, 62, was gunned down outside his Bay Ridge home as he walked his dog.

In a 1010 WINS interview Tuesday morning, Shea said the shooting tally over the Labor Day weekend “was kind of in the range” compared to previous years.

“With the way things have been going lately, I would deem that a success,” the top cop said. “But we have a lot of work to do, clearly.”

In total, the city saw five shootings with 11 victims on Monday, according to preliminary figures released by the NYPD.

On Labor Day 2019, which was on Sept. 2, there were eight shooting incidents, also with 11 victims.

This year, 22 shootings with 28 victims were reported throughout the entire Labor Day weekend, from Friday to Monday.

During the holiday weekend last year, there were 16 shootings with 19 victims.

The city has seen 14 straight weeks of surging gun violence.
