Upper East Side, Manhattan –

Police said they made two arrests in a shootout involving a rapper's entourage in front of a Manhattan restaurant.

The NYPD announced Saturday that Zachary Bunce of Wyandanch, New York, and Faheem Walter of Manhattan, were charged with assault.

The shooting took place Friday night while rapper Daniel Hernandez, known as Tekashi69 or 6ix9ine, and a group including Bunce and Walter were trying to get into Chow's Chow in the Upper East Side.

Police said that after their return, the suspects came back and hit a private security guard armed with a chair. They said the guard shot at Walter, who had been hospitalized for life-threatening injuries.

Hernandez's lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, said his client was not present during the shooting.

There was no information available on Saturday on the lawyers of Bunce and Walter.
