John Gotti, Jr. was stabbed during a mysterious dispute in Long Island on Sunday, a source told the Daily News.

Former Gambino crime family head John "Junior" Gotti was stabbed during a mysterious dispute in Long Island on Sunday, the Daily News has learned.

Gotti, the son of late "Dapper Don" John Gotti, told investigators he was stabbed in the stomach while trying to break up a fight between two strangers in the parking lot of a CVS in Syosset, a law enforcement source said.

The incident is now being investigated by both the Nassau County Police Department and Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice's office, the source said.

Victoria Gotti and brother and John Gotti Jr.

Gotti, 49, initially walked into a Syosset hospital seeking treatment for the wound, the source said.

The injury was deemed serious enough that he was transferred to North Shore University Hospital, the source said.

The source was skeptical of his story.

John Gotti, Jr. was stabbed during a mysterious dispute in Long Island on Sunday, a source told the Daily News.

"It's hard to believe he would break up a fight between two strangers.”

Gotti’s lawyer, Charles Carnesi, said he had not heard about the attack.

Management at the CVS in Syosset declined to comment.

Do the cops not believe it?

If the cops believe it, then I would have to wonder about the cops. Gotti has to have made a lot of enemies and there are guys I am sure that were pissed then he was made boss over men with more credentials, so I suspect a lot off people don't like him. There are also his many victims over the years. As I recall he was in a knife fight in some gin mill in Queens so maybe someone got their revenge.

Gee whiz,you mean to tell me that Junior Gotti might not have quit the Mob like he promised? I mean he practically pinky swore that he saw the light and didn't want to follow in Daddy,Uncle Doofus,and Uncle Scumbag's footsteps.No,not him,he would walk away from "the life" and just bake gingerbread men for sick children.

I mean,I am shocked and more than a little depressed that Junior somehow went bad . The Gottis devoted so much of their lives to the service of their fellow man,and stood as shining moral beacons.

I mean,John Sr.put quite a few guys in the ground,and flooded the area with heroin,but for Christ sakes,he put on a free fireworks show every Fourth of July. FREE,mind you.

I can only hope that Junior Gotti can get past this and that the public will stop hounding him and let him get back to his goal of making the world just a little bit better.

If it was LCN I doubt they would have used a knife...on the surface the story is plausible...does anyone know what Junior is doing to support "the family"?...he claimed he was broke after the last trial so what are his sources of income?

Told the judge and the media that he wanted to write children's books didn't he ??? I wonder what's taking him so long...Maybe some 140 pound publisher stuck him in the gut because he gave him an advance and hasn't received any books yet?? lol

What's happened to NYC ?? First sharpton get stuck in the gut and survives, and now this punk....Come on NYC, do it right next time!!!!

Hey Di, I'm not a fan of Gotti's but that was a little harsh to say about Sharpton and even Gotti for that matter.

I really think this guy has absoultly no pull with the gambinos anymore.I dont think dom cefulu or cali would even give this guy the time of day.It probably was a street fight with an old friend or even alite lol

Who cares? It's the internet. You seem sad.

Where are you getting this information from? Speculation from Wikipedia articles?

No way is Gotti still in that life and even if he wanted back in I doubt Dom would let him, he's dumb.

sack up

Where are you guys getting this speculation that you would know what the boss of the Gambinos would do? Pretty retarded.

It's a guess. Not like he actually knows what would happen. It would be my guess too that Gotti is not in the life and this was an isolated incident. Relax buddy

Who believe him?

I kinda like the alite theory, but I read he was a boxer but jr was to. I think it was alite or someone from the past. he did a lot of dirt less then 20yrs ago. these guys are still in there early 50tys and 40tys. jr may have retired but alot of his old pals didn't and if doesn't want to be a made man then he isn't gonna be protected under there flag so if you had a old grudge why not take a shot. kinda shows how fallen the gotti name has fell. remember some old westside guys were caught on a bug talking shit about growing up gotti. johns spinning in his grave.

think of all the people and drug dealers jr shook down all these guys spend there lives in prison shanking each other.

No one has determined if it was LCN or not. His "Plausible" story is just that a stranger stabbed him. How often do people get stabbed by strangers for no reason. If he is so broke then is he still living in a mansion on the north shore of LI??

Right, the house he swore he couldn't afford and had to sell. Funny how that worked out. Same with his bullshit that he was moving to either Florida or South Carolina asap. Yet he's still in NY 4 years later.

Maybe Capeci will have some info on what really happened to Gotti in this weeks Gang Land column.

It just seems to me that if someone wanted him dead, then he'd be dead. If you can close enough to stab a guy in a parking lot with no witnesses, you can get close enough to shoot him in the head. My gut tells me that this was spur of the moment over something stupid. But who knows?

Right on the money sonny all these fuckin guys on here with the conspiracy theories.

I agree...no way that was planned. He either really did try to break up a fight or maybe he ran into someone and they had words.

But i am curious how he's earning money these days. A few years back he swore he was broke. I know he has or had a decent amount of commercial real estate so maybe he's earning his living from that. I remember the feds had it locked up but since he wasn't found guilty they probably had to release their hold on it. But he must have cash coming in from somewhere. He sure as shit isn't making anything with that movie of his...personally i doubt it will ever get made.

carnesi mentioned a bunch of rental proprieties around long island.

that plus his dad's hidden booty.

anything to do with keeping gottis name in the news for future movie?

like pizzaboy said this has nothing to do with the mafia but your suggestion can make a little sense, kind of like that sopranos episode where bobby baccala shoots that aspiring rapper

Sorry merlino on a cell phone and can't read earlier posts too well - can't rule anythin out at this point .. Junior would appear like he can hold his own and probably still keeps protection on him

Right on with your post and he probably has protection with him, like the theory though!

I don't know much about junior gotti or the gotti's for that matter (I do know, but not as much as a lot of people because I haven't read all the gotti books and articles that everyone else has). So, with that caveat my opinion is that this isn't lcn related (or not ordered anyway) because i'm under the assumption the gotti's have been banihsed from the new york borgata's because of all the damage pappa gotti did. I can't imagine anybody in that world associating with him given those facts and that the goverment still has a spotlight on him. That family is the ultimate stay away as no good for anyone in that world comes from being around them now

My opinion, not that it means anything ,is that the only Gotti left with real juice is Gene Gotti, and he's in prison, so this mutt is open game and nobody respects him !!!

I gotta laugh at how the NY media spins the article for the Gotti's ...He wont squeal ???? Neither does any other street guy in the country for a crime like that...Come on...The real story is why he was treated like a punk !!!
