Iran Press/ Iran News: The police used batons to charge the supporters and lobbed teargas shells.
A few hundred Khan supporters gathered outside his house after a police team from Islamabad arrived to arrest him on a court order, according to government spokesman Amir Mir.
Khan called on his supporters to stand up for the supremacy of law and fight for true independence.
Several of Khan’s supporters were injured when the police resorted to teargas shelling, witnesses said. Similar clashes took place last week.
Live TV footage showed the supporters also using slingshots and attacking the police with bricks and sticks.
The court in Islamabad had issued the arrest warrant in a case against Khan on charges of threatening a judge in one of his speeches last year.
The former premier has been embroiled in several court cases since his ousting early last year in a parliament vote of confidence.
He has been demanding snap polls in protest rallies across the country, a move his successor Shehbaz Sharif has rejected, saying the elections would be held as scheduled later this year.
Khan was also shot and wounded in one of these rallies.
