NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man was arrested Thursday after another man was stabbed multiple times in downtown Nashville earlier this week.
According to a Davidson County affidavit, the victim was sleeping in an alleyway in the 500 block of 4th Avenue South when he was woken up just before 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 7 by a man he knew as “Chicago.” The man allegedly yelled at the victim and stabbed him with a large black knife several times.
When police and first responders arrived at the scene, the victim was unable to give a statement due to the amount of blood he lost from being stabbed in the chest, neck, and left arm, the court document says. The victim was brought to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for surgery.

A woman next door reportedly heard someone yell, “never steal anything from me again,” so she went outside to see what was happening. Per the affidavit, she initially thought it was just a fight with the victim lying on the ground and the suspect standing over him, hitting him several times, but then the suspect passed by the woman as he walked away and she noticed the large black knife in his hand, as well as the blood covering the victim.
