The Guyana Police Force said Constable Paul Rodrigues has since been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the New Amsterdam Police Station.
Investigators say that the incident occurred at Canfield Settlement, East Canje Berbice at about 6 PM yesterday.
The investigation has so far revealed that Constable Rodrigues had a misunderstanding with his brother which led to a scuffle.
His brother then allegedly armed himself with a knife and stabbed him several times to his abdomen and once to his right side leg.
