A man was shot in the arm during an argument at a raucous Long Island house party that police say was attended by about 400 people.

Suffolk County police say the 34-year-old man was shot around 10:30 p.m. Saturday at a home on Langhans Court in Dix Hills. He is hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

The owner of the home is charged with criminal nuisance. Two other men were charged with obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest.

They were held at a precinct overnight pending arraignment on Sunday.

Police say a large crowd of people was fighting when officers arrived. They say officers from other precincts had to be summoned to restore order.
