A 45-year-old Brooklyn dad has been charged with murder for allegedly stabbing his wife to death — in a vicious attack that left the couple’s teen son injured as he tried to intervene, cops and prosecutors said. 

Lewis Gordon was nabbed on Monday, less than 24 hours after he allegedly plunged a knife into 47-year-old Antoinette Stewart-Gordon’s neck and stomach inside their home on East 81st Street near Flatlands Avenue in Canarsie, police said Thursday.

The couple’s 15-year-old son stepped in to help his dying mom, but ended up with a slash wound on his hand during the Sunday evening fight, according to cops and a criminal complaint.
