MANHATTAN —  A man was arrested for stabbing his brother in the gut during a fight in the Abraham Lincoln Houses Wednesday morning, NYPD officials said.

Marc Brockington, 48, attacked his sibling in the 50-year-old brother's fourth-floor home on Madison Ave., near East 135th Street, stabbing his stomach and slashing his neck and hand about 2:30 a.m., police said.

The brother was treated at Harlem Hospital, where he's listed in stable condition, police said.

Brockington, who lives in Central Harlem, was arrested for assault, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, an NYPD spokeswoman said.

He was still awaiting arraignment Wednesday morning, records show.

Brockington was arrested in 2007 for criminal possession of marijuana, police said. He's been arrested once more, but NYPD records for that are sealed, an NYPD spokeswoman said.
