Police were called to The Bog in central Dunedin about 8.30pm yesterday.
"A 46-year-old male was at The Bog and had locked himself in the bathroom after an argument had started due to him not having a vaccine pass," Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said.
"He came out of the bathroom with a knife and also smashed a window with his hand."
Police officers arrived and arrested the man.
However, in the process, one of the officers sustained injuries to his hand with it likely broken.
The man will appear in court this morning.
