Police have arrested and charged the two men and teenage boy who chased and shot a 22-year-old man dressed as a woman in Brooklyn on Saturday morning.

The victim was walking with a friend on Broadway near Putnam Ave. in Bushwick about 7 a.m. when he was attacked by Cody Sigue, 22, Matthew Smith, 21, and Tavon Johnson, 17, as they screamed profanities and anti-gay taunts at the pair, cops said.

The victim and his friend tried to get away, but the three creeps ran after them and opened fire, shooting the victim in the buttocks, police said.

The man was taken to Brookdale University Hospital, treated for his injuries and released.
