An unhinged woman on a random punching spree outside a Brooklyn mall Wednesday was stabbed in the back by one of her victims, police said.

The 40-year-old was attacking pedestrians outside the Atlantic Terminal Mall near the Barclays Center when she was knifed by a woman she slugged around 1 p.m., according to cops.

“Apparently she punched the wrong person,” a police source quipped.
