Robert Mugabe junior, thought to be 31, faces three counts of malicious damage to property and two charges of assault on a police officer, his lawyer says.
Car windscreens were allegedly smashed and an officer spat on.
He denies the charges and says he is innocent. He has been freed and is trying to reach an amicable settlement.
The arrest came after a complaint from his friend, Sindiso Nkatazo, also 31, police said in a tweet. They also said the damaged property was valued at $12,000 (£10,000).
Mr Mugabe junior is the second child of the former president with his widow, Grace.
In court, his lawyer Ashiel Mugiya argued that the prosecutors had not done a thorough investigation and suggested an out-of-court settlement as Mr Mugabe junior and the complainant are friends.
If these negotiations fail, the former president's son will be summoned back to court, Mr Muyiga said.
