NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro police have arrested a man who they say attacked a person in a laundromat Wednesday and is the suspect in three other similar attacks over the past week.

The most recent attack happened Wednesday night at the Coin Laundry Express in the 1500 block of Dickerson Pike, says Metro police. The suspected attacker is 32-year-old Khadree Renfro.

The suspect is seen on surveillance video wearing a black hoodie, approaching a 45-year-old man while carrying "an object similar to a cane" that he uses to hit the victim multiple times in the head and body before leaving the laundromat.

The same man is the suspect of multiple attacks within the general area of the Laundromat, says Metro police.

A 27-year-old man was having car trouble on E Due West Avenue on March 16, a 32-year-old man was outside the Citgo market in the 2700 block of Dickerson Pike on March 18 and a 31-year-old man was jogging on Lischey Avenue on March 19 when they were each attacked in a similar manner to the laundromat attack Wednesday night, says Metro police.

Renfro has been booked on three counts of attempted criminal homicide.
