A 31-year-old Queens man is in custody after allegedly stabbing three relatives near his Ozone Park home during a violent Saturday night family squabble — then barricaded himself inside, according to police and sources.

Vinny Dagga was eventually taken into custody and charged with assault, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon following the 8:30 p.m. incident outside 133-43 Lefferts Boulevard that left two of the victims hospitalized, cops said.

Law enforcement sources said those two family members — a 63-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman — were both stabbed in the stomach during the bloody encounter and were rushed to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The third victim, identified as a 28-year-old man, was slashed in the hand and refused medical attention.

Cops responded to the Ozone Park home on a report of a crime in progress.

Police did not disclose how the victims are related to Dagga or what sparked the alleged attack.
