A Greensburg man accused of assaulting his stepdaughter with a garden gnome early Wednesday was arrested, police said.

The teenage girl was hurt when Charles Morrison, 31, threw the gnome through a glass window, cutting her above her eye, police said.

Police said Morrison, of Mt. Pleasant Street, came home drunk at about 4 a.m., cutting the telephone lines, punching holes in the wall and pushing his stepdaughter.

The girl claims she managed to push him out the back porch door, police said.

A neighbor told police she saw Morrison throw the garden gnome through the window.

Morrison was jailed on $25,000 bond, charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment.
