I know that Matt's answer solved the question, But if you've more than one entity manager, you can use this:

Make model.xml with:

Then load this file in your DI extension

$loader = new Loader\XmlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__.'/../Resources/config'));
$loader->load('model.xml');

Then you can use it anywhere. In Console Command execute:

$em = $this->getContainer()->get('EM_NAME.entity_manager');

and don't forget at end to :

$em->flush();

You can now use it as a argument in another service in services.yml:

services:
    SOME_SERVICE:
        class: %parameter.class%
        arguments:
            - @EM_NAME.entity_manager

Hope this help someone.
