9News understands there were several scuffles with punches reportedly thrown at police. Officers used capsicum spray to subdue some of the protesters.
Northern Territory Police said seven arrests were made in relation to the protest.
The snap lockdown, which started yesterday, is scheduled to lift midnight on Sunday.
It comes weeks after the Northern Territory announced it will make COVID-19 vaccines mandatory across most public-facing roles.
Chief Minister Michael Gunner announced the sweeping mandate, as he revealed the territory will soon begin to open to fully vaccinated travellers from hotspots.
