A teen gunman opened fire inside a Long Island gym during a fight with another teen late Tuesday, cops said. 

Noah Haynes, 18, was arguing with a 17-year-old victim inside LA Fitness on Deer Park Avenue in North Babylon around 7:15 p.m. when staff members asked them to leave, Suffolk County police said. 

The pair went out to the parking lot, where the fight turned physical, cops said. 

Haynes then took off in a car, and the younger teen returned to the gym, police said. 

But about 30 minutes later, Haynes returned and confronted the 17-year-old in the locker room, authorities said. 

There, he allegedly slashed the teen in the neck with a metal object and pointed a handgun at him.
