Nightclub Guards Attacked In Downtown Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Two security guards were attempting to remove the man from the club for violating the dress code when they say the man attacked them.

The incident happened just before 1 a.m. on Saturday at the Graham Central Station night-club on Second Avenue North.

He first hit one guard over the head with a beer bottle, and then pulled a knife on a second guard cutting his arm.

A third security guard was able to force the man to the ground and subdue him.

The two injured guards were transported to Vanderbilt but are expected to be okay.
