A 22-year-old migrant was stabbed outside a Brooklyn shelter Thursday  — all because he sat on his attacker’s electric moped, sources said.

Cristian Concepcion, 25, allegedly erupted when he spotted a fellow resident sitting on his moped outside the shelter on Hall Street and Flushing Avenue near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, according to sources.

An argument between the two migrants turned violent when Concepcion allegedly plunged a knife twice into the man’s chest around 12:15 p.m., police and sources said.

“It was a whole dispute over territory or the scooters,” a police source told The Post.

The victim was rushed by EMTs to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in serious but stable condition.

Concepcion, who sources said emigrated from Venezuela, was arrested and charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and menacing.

His arraignment was pending Thursday night.
