GREENFIELD, Ind. — Greenfield police arrested a man who allegedly assaulted a woman inside a moving car early Wednesday before being shot.
The shooting happened around 1 a.m. Dec. 20 in the 1500 block of North Melody Lane, south of Interstate 70 along North State Street. The Greenfield Police Department said a 44-year-old man was shot in the arm "after what detectives believe was a domestic dispute."
The man was allegedly assaulting a woman inside a moving car near a grocery store.
"The woman was able to reach her firearm and fired at least one shot at (the man), striking him in the arm," the department said in a statement.

The woman was able to get away from the man and drove to a nearby hotel. The woman had a protective order in place against the man at the time of the incident, police said.
The man was treated at the scene and taken to an Indianapolis hospital. He was released later Wednesday morning and arrested before being taken to the Hancock County Jail.
The Hancock County Prosecutor's Office will make final charging decisions in the case.
