Twenty-nine-year-old Rojae Reid, a mason of Bogue Hill, Montego Bay, St James, has been charged for wounding his brother during a dispute.
The police say Reid was taken to the Montego Bay Police Station on Monday by a pastor where a warrant was executed on him.
His court date is being finalised.
The police report that around midday on Sunday, May 16, Reid and his brother were doing repairs to a house when an argument developed between them.
Reid then reportedly used a machete to inflict wounds to his brother's back and one of his arms, almost severing it.
He was taken to hospital where he was admitted and later released.
