A Queens grandma has been identified as the mystery woman who was accidentally struck in June by two grandsons of the late “Teflon Don” John Gotti — while the men were violently attacking her son, The Post has learned. 

Cathy Gabrielli, 60, of Howard Beach, was the person allegedly trying to play peacemaker outside her 84th Street home on June 2 when the incident unfolded. 

Gabrielli was seen attempting to fend off John Jr. and Frankie Gotti who had begun slugging her son, Gino, the brother-in-law of his alleged attackers.

“No, thank you, I’m really not interested,” Cathy said on Thursday when the Post asked her about both her and her son’s ordeal when they had been confronted by the two Gottis. 

Gino Gabrielli, 32, told the Post that his mom was struck in the arm by one of John’s errant punches. “She tried to push John off, and then he [John] hit her — and then that’s when the police ran it, like ran in and broke it up.” 

He recalled a massive cops presence outside her home on that day. So too was the pugilist bros’ dad, Peter Gotti. 

“He was just standing there watching it,” said Gino. “He didn’t try to stop it.” 

Once he and his mom pulled up in the white Mercedes-Benz SUV, the sea of blue parted and the young man said he was taking incoming.  

A volley of insults were lobbed before a combination of blows.

John Jr. called Gino a “rat”, “piece of s–t”, “scumbag,” and Gino returned verbal fire.

“F–k you, you piece of s–t c–ksucker,” he said he told the brothers. “Your uncle’s a rat! Your whole family’s [are] f–king rats. And you’re f–king white trash!”

Gino was in a daze.

“I really can’t remember, because it happened so fast, yeah, and I was trying to defend myself, and I got punched in the face,” he said. “I kind of like, you know, I was seeing stars and stuff like that.”

Both John, 31, and Frankie, 27, were slapped with third-degree attempted assault and harassment charges for slugging Gino Gabrielli. 

They each pleaded not guilty at their arraignment and are due back in court on Aug. 7. 

The family feud was fueled by Gino, who was captured on CCTV breaching John and his sister Eleanor’s Jamaica home and allegedly swiping $3,000, a pair of his sister’s earrings, a watch, a wallet, and belt, according to the criminal complaint.

No further information was available about Gino’s case, the Queens District Attorney’s office said.

Gino has denied taking anything but the cash.

And he stressed the money was only two months back rent John Jr. owed his grandfather — who, he says, rented out the place at a discount of $1,500 per month to his sister and John Jr. and their newborn daughter. 

Gino also suspects John Jr. wasn’t being faithful to Eleanor. 

“So my sister caught him cheating with the girl from Howard Beach,” he said. “She threw him out, okay, and, and so he stopped paying rent to my grandfather. 

He added: “So, you know, it got me really, really pissed and upset, and that’s why I went inside the apartment to collect the rent.”

But Gino also admitted to wrecking one of John Gotti brothers’ Rebel Tattoo parlors. 

“I went to John’s tattoo parlor… and there was this, like, glass shelf top thingy, about like six feet high, and there was a bunch of like, like, I guess, like souvenirs in there and stuff like that. And I took it and I tossed it, and  chucked it against the ground, and it shattered everywhere in front of the customers, in front of the manager, in front of the workers, and they were like, ‘What the f–k you doing?’ And I didn’t say anything. And then I just walked out.”

Gino says beyond his grandfather allegedly getting stiffed for the Jamaica flat rent — the infamous mob descendants also allegedly slapped his father, Gino Sr., around at a Stop & Shop when he asked to spend time with his granddaughter; and was refused. 

“I heard about that, and I-I lost it,” he said. “My father’s 66-years-old. John’s 31. You know, if you have a problem with me, you confront me — not my father that did nothing wrong to you.”

“Who cares,” attorney Gerard Marrone, who reps Frankie Gotti, said when asked about Gino’s accusations.

A lawyer for John Jr. did not return a message seeking comment.
