A heroic Arkansas mother got shot in the face with a crossbow and survived after diving in front of her teenage son.

Janet Partain feels she 'lucky to be alive' after she was shot by Joseph Avellino, 34, on Monday, and even managed to drive herself to hospital after the incident.

The 34-year-old shared a photo of her horrifying injuries while in hospital.

In one picture, the arrow is still protruding from her face as blood poured from the gash.

Later photos show the mom with the arrow removed, and her face stitched up.

Joseph Avellino, 34, was charged with battery in the first degree and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child after what law enforcement believe to have been an altercation with the woman.

Cross County Deputies responded to a residence around 4.20pm but deputies found the victim had already left in a vehicle.


Partain said she was injured after turning up at Avellino's home near Wynne with her 14-year-old son and 15-year-old nephews to confront him about a theft.

'I told him, Joseph I don't want you on my property no more, this and that. And he was like, "Well I'm going to shoot ya'll",', Partain explained.

'[He] was pointing the arrow at them and he fired a shot at one of them, and I pushed them out the way and I got hit,' she said.

'I think I was in shock because once I got hit I said, "I can't believe you almost shot that kid".'

This is what herdsmen have been doing, thank God Atiku is coming to make Nigeria work for us all, again. Atiku is my Val, Atiku will win
