He was caught after a struggle and found to have a folding pocket knife, Thames Valley Police said.
The drill rapper - who performs under the stage name Loski - was out of jail on licence.
He was given seven years in 2023 for having a loaded revolver.
On Monday, High Wycombe JPs jailed O'Connor, of Farnham Royal, Bucks, for eight months after he pleaded guilty to possession of a knife and obstructing a police officer.
Det Sgt Ed Crofts of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: 'I am pleased he is back behind bars where he belongs.
'We will never tolerate anybody carrying dangerous weapons in our community and will seek to bring to justice those that do so.'
The Sun has also reported that O'Connor had his track Ashes played by the BBC on 1Xtra days after his release from jail for carrying a loaded gun.
O'Conner denied the charges and claimed that he had been forced to hold the gun after a drug dealer had made threats against his and his mother's lives.
His defence was unanimously rejected by the jury at Croydon crown court.

Moment model chases down thief who snatched her phone after creeping up behind her on pavement
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the chilling moment a model chases down a brazen thief who snatched her phone in broad daylight. Australian fashion model and influencer Emma Van Der Hoek was targeted while walking alone on a pavement in Highbury, North London on Tuesday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Model Emma Van Der Hoek shared footage of her phone being nicked Credit: Instagram / emmavanderhoek_ 4 The fashionista and influencer has pleaded with the thieves to return her mobile Credit: Instagram / emmavanderhoek_ 4 She tried to chases down the brazen thief but was unable to catch them Credit: Instagram / emmavanderhoek_ 4 She blasted people who said it was her fault saying they were 'victim-blaming' Credit: Instagram / emmavanderhoek_ The star shared footage of the terrifying moment her phone was snatched straight from her hand online, stating she'd also had a phone stolen earlier this year. 'This is the second time in three months this has happened – all within my so-called 'safe' neighbourhood,' an exasperated Emma wrote on Instagram The shocking clip shows Emma looking at her phone as she strolls along a quiet street just ten minutes from Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. Looking at her phone, wearing a pair of tracksuits and a long sleeve spotted top, she's unaware that one of her most prized possession is about to be nabbed. Without warning, a masked man dressed head-to-toe in black dashes up and snatches the phone in one slick movement. Emma bravley darts after the attacker but the thief vanishes around the corner. Another man, also dressed in black, appears moments later and follows after them. She shared the footage on TikTok but was shocked to find that many people were blaming her for the traumatic event. Emma found that people were blaming her for the theft rather than the criminal. She wrote: 'The amount of victim-blaming comments is actually insane. Moment TikTok star has phone stolen during live-stream 'People have got so used to theft in London that they've started blaming the victims instead of holding criminals accountable.' In a desperate attempt to get her phone back, the influencer writes directly to the thieves themselves. She added: "If you are one of the boys that stole my phone, return it and I'll delete the video.' She urged anyone with information to message her directly. Fans of Emma were quick to take to the comments to express their horror at the event but gratitude that she was unscathed. One wrote: "Glad you're safe sis." Another added: "So sorry to hear this darling, I hope you can get it back." A third responded: "So scary! I'm sorry this keeps happening to you." The robbery is part of a growing epidemic of mobile phone thefts sweeping the capital. Data obtained by The Sun reveals the worst hit areas across Greater London, with one popular tourist hotspot hit by as many as 37 mobile thefts daily on average. The Metropolitan Police has warned that gangs are pocketing millions, with phone thefts "on an industrial scale". Almost 80,000 handsets were stolen last year - that's up by about 16,000 on 2023. Perhaps unsurprisingly, tourist hotspots tend to rank highest, which is especially worrying for anyone planning on venturing into the capital over the summer. However, hundreds of incidents were reported in typically residential areas up and down Greater London, too. The Met Police told The Sun that criminals behind the problem are making millions by being able to easily sell on stolen devices either here or abroad. "We are seeing phone thefts on an industrial scale," a Met Police spokesperson told The Sun. "In response, we have increased patrols in hotspot areas while officers are using phone-tracking data and intelligence to pursue those responsible. "By intensifying our efforts, we're catching more perpetrators and protecting people from having their phones stolen in the capital. "The Met is also working with other agencies and government to tackle the organised criminality driving this trade and calling on tech companies to make stolen phones unusable. "We are reminding victims to report their phone as stolen as soon as possible to maximise the chance of catching the perpetrator, too often thefts are reported hours or days later."

In a post on social media she said: 'My dog has eaten something toxic in the gramps at Kincorth and has passed away. 'It looks like it's something he's eaten up there. 'There's been a few stories floating about that other dogs have been eating the same stuff. 'Could you make people aware to take extra care if they're walking their dogs there.' Locals suggested the pet may have consumed Hogweed, which poses a serious danger to animals as well as humans. But others accused 'sick' people of deliberately trying to harm dogs by leaving out toxic substances. They urged the bereaved owner to call in the cops. One poster claimed they knew of another pet that fell ill after being walked in the same area. They said: 'The dog has been at the emergency vets all night for the same thing. They put her on an IV. 'The vet thinks it was cannabis and her symptoms suggest that. She's not out of the woods yet but is better than last night. Horror moment dog is dragged to her death - before vigilantes wreak revenge 'It is worrying for all dog walkers who use the gramps.' The original post was put up by Fubar News on Facebook and concerned residents posted hundreds of messages. One said: 'So sorry for your loss. What an awful thing to happen. "We walk our dog there daily, is there any information about what areas or what the substance looks like?' Another added: 'What a wicked thing to do. They are such a big part of our families. That is a terrible way to lose her.' There is no evidence that anyone is deliberately trying to hurt dogs in the Gramps area. The Scottish SPCA said it was not aware of the alleged incident. Police Scotland have been approached for comment.
