Ambulance and police vehicles at scene of shooting in Gobnascale on Saturday night
The 42-year-old was arrested on Monday following the shooting in the Gobnascale area.
He was shot in the chest during an incident in Celandine Court at about 10.45 pm.
The man remains under arrest and will be interviewed at a police custody suite in due course.
The Police Ombudsman is investigating a complaint from the man’s family.
The arrested man’s solicitor, Ciaran Shiels, said the man’s sisters wanted to know what justification there was for the use of “lethal force”.
A police officer sustained knife wounds to his arm and head in the incident.
Mr Shiels said the man was in a stable, improving condition in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
