A Queens woman was viciously stabbed by two home invaders while taking out her garbage, cops and sources said.

The violent pair had been fiddling with doors at the 65-year-old victim’s Flushing apartment building around 5:40 p.m. Sunday when they spotted her stepping out of her home to toss the trash, the law enforcement sources said.

The strangers jumped the woman and stabbed her multiple times all over her body, cops said.

They then rummaged through her apartment – attempting to steal something – but ended up fleeing empty-handed, cops said.

“They knew where they were going,” the super of the building on Roosevelt Avenue, near Parsons Boulevard, told The Post Monday of the still-at-large suspects.

Surveillance footage viewed by The Post also appeared to indicate the crooks were familiar with the building.

One held the door for the other as the bundled-up bandits – one wearing a mask covering the entire lower part of his face – made their way inside. 

One of the suspect appeared to have been talking on the phone, but stopped his conversation to lead his accomplice to the elevator, according to the video.

The pair immediately turned left once they got off at the fourth floor.

The attackers casually sauntered off, without picking up their pace — and kept their heads down whenever they passed a surveillance camera, the video shows.

“They didn’t go anywhere else. And when they left, they left the same way,” said the super, who requested anonymity.

After the stabbing, the injured woman called her sister, who lives with her but was at work when she was knifed, the super said. 

The sister then called the super, who brought responding cops upstairs. 

“When I open the door for the cops she was sitting upright,” the super said. “She had a little blood on her left wrist and she had a little blood on her chest. There were four marks – red blood marks – on her chest.

“She was very nervous. She was telling the police that he opened a drawer but he didn’t take anything.”

The victim was taken to NY Presbyterian-Queens Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, police said.

“They are both very nice ladies, never a problem with anyone,” the super said of the sisters.

Next-door neighbor Tyrone Correa, 65, a bakery distribution manager, described the violence as “very odd” and shocking.

“The whole thing seems very strange. We live in a safe neighborhood … this is New York City. But still this is the first time anything like this has ever happened in this building,” Correa said.

“It just seems very strange. They didn’t take anything.”

The victim is a “a nice woman,” the neighbor added.

“She’s a private individual. She keeps to herself. I say hello and my wife says hello, you know, but that’s about it,” Correa said.

“We’re both a little shaken because it’s a quiet building.”
