A local police report states that a knifeman trespassed onto the self-proclaimed misogynist's property at around 2pm local time before knifing his 53-year-old worker in the arm.
The attacker was later arrested by officers and ProTv reports he is believed to be a Ukrainian national.
He reportedly attempted to return to Tate's property later the same day, but the 38-year-old's security team noticed him and alerted the police.
A source told the news outlet: "The victim was assaulted with a sharp object, and after the attack, the assailant was initially released after offering a vague explanation regarding a trivial conflict and complaints about noise."
Tate, who is currently living in Romania with his brother Tristan, took to social media on Wednesday to say an unidentified individual "attacked a construction worker" and "sliced his arm open".
He claimed the suspect had been "lurking in the vicinity of my house recently" and used a blade to assault a worker who was renovating his garage.

Tate said on X: "The police are finally getting involved but it took him trying to kill a man before they took action."
According to local media outlet Gândul, the worker received treatment shortly after the attack.
ProTV also reports that the same 53-year-old worker was involved in a separate conflict with a 32-year-old man the previous day.
A police spokesperson said: "The person in question was taken to police headquarters for investigation and is currently detained."
The Tate brothers have been accused of a string of offences - including human trafficking - against a number of women in the UK in the May.
Andrew Tate has been charged with ten offences in total - including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain against three women.
Tristan Tate, 36, was charged with 11 offences against one alleged victim - including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.
They are also facing a string of alleged sex crimes over in Romania, which prosecutors say must be settled first.
Once proceedings in Bucharest are over, the pair will return to Britain to address the charges, their legal representative Andrew Ford confirmed.
Ford told Sky News: "The Tates will return to face UK allegations".
