Pc Ross Morgan was in Tesco Express, Moss Grove, Kingswinford, when he saw the offender.
He identified himself as a police officer and went to detain the suspect who threatened to stab him.
Pc Morgan said: "He was grabbing all sorts to try and get me off him, jars of pasta sauce and pieces of plastic. I was even bitten on both of my arms.
"Fortunately some other shoppers came to assist me. They put their own safety on the line and I can't thank them enough."
A 32-year-old from Wolverhampton man was arrested on suspicion of theft, assaulting a police officer and drugs possession after the incident at 1pm yesterday.
