The 41 year-old then casually walked off – but on later being held police stated: “I hope he is dead.”
The victim suffered multiple wounds, but life-saving treatment kept him alive.
Brodie this week admitted to an attempted murder charge as he appeared in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow.
He already had a criminal past stretching back 25 years.
Brodie was just 16 when he was locked up for nine years for the culpable homicide of another teenager in the city’s Toryglen in 2000.
In 2017, he also made headlines when he failed in a bid to avoid being sent back to Ireland to face charges there.
The thug told an extradition hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court that he had previously been forced to flee the country after an IRA “money man” with a gun threatened he would be killed if he did not leave within 24 hours.
Brodie also claimed he would end up like his father William, who disappeared in 1994 and is thought to have been murdered by republican terrorists.
But, he was ordered back to Ireland, where he now also has convictions for violence and robbery.
Brodie was warned by a judge he could be facing an Order for Lifelong Restriction for this latest crime. He will be back in the dock next month.
The murder bid occurred at flats in Glasgow’s Kinning Park where both Brodie and Mr Green stayed.
Brodie had gone to the victim’s door around 10pm on May 12.
There was initially a chat between the men before the thug tried to force his way in.

Prosecutor Vish Kathuria then explained: “A struggle ensued – Brodie pulled Mr Green and struck him on the body with a knife, which he had brought with him.
“Brodie managed to force him into a room, where he struck him again several times.
“Mr Green believed that he was going to die.”
Footage of the blood-soaked victim crawling out of his flat was played during the hearing.
Brodie sat in the dock with his T-shirt pulled over his head to avoid watching it. He also started hitting himself.
The court heard Mr Green cried out as he lay stricken: “Help, help, I am dying.”
Others came to his aid and a 999 was made. Brodie, by this time, had left the building.
Mr Green was rushed to hospital suffering from a series of wounds to his head, chest, arms and legs.
He needed resuscitated and ended up in intensive care.
Mr Green remained in hospital for 10 days following extensive surgery.
Mr Kathuria said he has been left scarred for life and his injuries “would likely have resulted in death”, but for the medical help.
A blood-stained Brodie meantime handed himself into police shortly after the attack.
He made a number of remarks including: “Is he dead? I hope he is dead.”
The knife used in the murder bid – with an eight-inch blade – was also found.
Before adjourning the case, judge Lord Scott told Brodie’s lawyer Ann Ogg: “I do wonder if a risk assessment report may be appropriate and consideration given to an Order for Lifelong Restriction.
“This is an appalling act of near fatal violence carried out by someone with a terrible criminal record.”
Miss Ogg said Brodie wanted to apologise for what he had done.
The solicitor advocate: “You will have seen his reaction to the video – he is clearly shocked at his behaviour.
“He wishes me to express his thanks to the medical staff, the police and others for their assistance that they provided to Mr Green.
“Had they not, the charge before the court could be very different.”
Brodie had his remand in custody continued.
