Gadsden police arrested a 26-year-old man for violation of a protection order following an incident Sunday afternoon involving a wounded woman.

According to police reports, the incident happened at 3 p.m. Sunday in the 1100 block of South 10th Street. A 24-year-old woman told police a man, whom she had filed a protection from abuse order against, came to the residence "screaming and yelling at her."

The woman said the man grabbed her by the throat and threw her through the home's front door into the living room. He threatened to shoot her if she came back out of the house. He then walked outside.

When she came onto the porch, the man resumed yelling at her and produced a pistol, firing a shot in her direction. The bullet apparently struck a brick pillar and hit her in the lower right calf. Two other people witnessed the incident, according to reports.

A shell casing was recovered from the scene.
