Dramatic new video captured the moment shots rang out on Long Island as a massive mob of teenagers overwhelmed cops at a beachfront community.

Footage obtained by The Post shows cops swarming the typically tranquil city of Long Beach when eight shots are heard in quick succession around 6 p.m. Thursday — sending police running to the source of the gunfire.

One person was shot during the unrest on a “senior skip day” in the city, which saw more than 2,000 teenagers swarm the beach and surrounding neighborhoods, forcing local cops to call for backup from the Nassau County police force, authorities said.

Rowdy teenagers were seen jumping on top of a police squad car and twerking while cops tried to control the crowd — with little success.

Another clip shows hundreds of people on the beach climbing on a lifeguard stand.

At least two teenagers were taken into custody but police have not released additional details, such as their ages or the charges against them.

Sources said cops found a gun at the scene.

Police have not identified the victim nor provided any details on their condition.

The unrest came during the unofficial annual tradition that has high school seniors from districts throughout the area blow off classes and gather to celebrate the day.
