A 27-year-old Somalian was wounded in the incident at the Aarhus home of Kurt Westergaard, 74, who drew cartoons of Islam's prophet Mohammed.
Guards stopped three men trying to break into the house, Danish media reported.
The intruder is being held in custody, police said.
"At 10pm this evening, a personal alarm was received from Mr Westergaard's house," chief superintendant Morten Jensen, from East Jutland police, said.
Officers found the man "armed with an axe and a knife in either hand".
Chief Supt Jensen said: "He broke a window of Mr Westergarrds house. He tried to attack one officer with an axe and he was shot in his right leg and his left arm.
"He's not seriously injured, he's in custody," he added.
Denmark's Ritzau news agency said police sappers were sent in to the home to look for a bomb that might have been laid.
The Danish cartoonist caused fury in the Islamic world four years ago after a Danish newspaper published his drawings of Mohammed wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb.

A Mooselimb Somalian.
Remember Theo Van Gogh of Holland who was stabbed to death by a member of the ROP..........
I need to come up with a great cartoon slaming the Islamic freaks... post my address, invite some friends over, sit up in the barn and pick the idiots off as they come on my property.
Why do western countries continue to import this human waste from places like Somalia?
Somali Muslims. One of the worst cancers in the world. The US Catholic charities are supposedly importing a lot of them. Dumb Poppy Bush had to go there. Idiot.
armed with an axe obviously to remove his head.
When ya get it all set up, send me an invite!!!
at least the right guy was the recipient of the shooting
I only hear of one being held, the one the police shot. Where are the other two? Did they just let them go?
Blowing up 75 people at a volleyball game is A-OK.
A cartoon showing Mohamed in an unpopular light is not.
Well, they gotta’ have priorities, right? /s
LOL. I thought the same thing...even an IED here and there.
great idea. Like shooting fish in a barrell
