A gang of burglars have stabbed a senior constable after breaking into his home in Moreton Bay.

At around 12:30am Tuesday, four unidentified people forced their way into the Strathpine family home, allegedly armed with a firearm and knife.

It is understood that the 38-year-old officer was then stabbed in the arm before the group fled in a car that they later torched.
