CARROLL GARDENS — A 29-year-old woman was stabbed after she didn’t give her attacker a cigarette, cops say.

The victim was smoking on a Luquer Street sidewalk between Clinton Street and Hamilton Avenue, when a man approached her and asked for a cigarette around 9:50 p.m. on Sept. 15, according to police.

When she refused, the man stabbed her with a sharp object, possibly an ice pick, cops said.

The victim was rushed to Lutheran Medical Center, according to the FDNY.

Police did not have specifics on the woman's injuries or condition.

No one had been arrested as of Tuesday, police said.

Other notable crimes in this week’s blotter in the 76th Precinct included the following from police sources:

 A mugger held a victim at gunpoint in a building elevator on Baltic Street on Sept. 3 and told the victim to “give me everything you got,” according to police. The mugger rifled through the victim’s pockets when he handed over only $14 and then told the victim “I want $50 next time.”
