The incident happened around 7pm on Wednesday at a restaurant in Can Picafort in north east Majorca named locally as Don Denis.
The waiter at the centre of the drama is also understood to have been injured after being stabbed by the tourist, although his wounds have been described as less serious than those of the unnamed holidaymaker.
Emergency responders stabilised the Brit at the scene after he suffered a large loss of blood according to Majorcan newspaper Diario de Mallorca.
He was subsequently taken to Son Espases Hospital in Palma.
The unnamed waiter is said to have treated in another hospital in the town of Muro.
