Warrnambool police Sergeant Callum McKinnon said reports were received from the public about the man early Wednesday afternoon.
"He was walking down McGregors Road, went into Whitehead Court and in that area hit a couple of letterboxes and smashed someone's fence," he said.
"He went into Fleetwood Court through a park waving the hammer and yelling at people."
Sergeant McKinnon said the man was found in parkland between Fleetwood Court and Whitehead court and the hammer was found nearby.
"He was arrested and there was no real incident in that process. The man is expected to be charged on summons with causing damage and weapons offences," he said.
Anyone with information about the incident is requested to contact the Warrnambool police station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
The man was in court last week and given one last chance to comply with a community corrections order.
