A man has died and at least three others are injured after a violent knife fight outside a gambling den in Brooklyn’s Chinatown in Sunset Park.

The bloodshed took place around 9:30 a.m. Friday night on the sidewalk outside an illegal game room in the basement of 57th Street and 7th Avenue, police sources told The Post.

Three men attempted to break in to break into the place, but were stabbed by an employee before they could enter, the sources said.

Three puddles of blood and torn, bloodstained clothing could be seen on the sidewalk outside the door at 5701 Seventh Ave., where about 20 NYPD officers dealt with the midnight crime scene.

The area is known locally as “Little Fuzhou”, named after the city in China’s Fujian Province, from which many residents have emigrated.

Police were still determining if there was a knife still loose. Three of the victims were taken to the nearby Sunset Park branch of NYU Langone, sources said.
