Police are seeking information about a reported assault in which a man was shot in the leg about 7:36 p.m. Tuesday in the vicinity of Walnut and Clay streets, Vicksburg police Sgt. Johnnie Edwards said.

The man, who was not identified, said he was walking in the area when a car containing several men pulled up beside him and one of the men shot him, hitting him in the leg.

Edwards said the victim left the area and was later found by police at the intersection of Washington and Polk streets. He was taken by ambulance to Merit Health River Region, where he was treated and released, Edwards said.

In another case, police arrested a city community service worker on a charge of sale of a controlled substance after she tried to sell hydrocodone to a police officer at the police station, Edwards said.
