NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Nazi flag carrying protester has been charged with aggravated assault for using a flagpole to strike down a bartender in Downtown Nashville over the weekend, according to Metro Police.

In addition, 29-year-old Ryan Scott McCann of Ontario, Canada was also charged with disorderly conduct.

McCann was part of a group of Neo-Nazi protesters who carried Nazi flags on Sunday afternoon.

As the parties became separated, he was seen striking Buck in the face and in the ribs with the flagpole.

Buck was arrested on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and resisting police.

On 150-year anniversary, YMCA of Middle Tennessee looks at its past and future

Happy Birthday to the YMCA of Middle TN. They just celebrated their 150th anniversary! A lot has changed with the Y over the years. I have personally seen some of that firsthand when I was a long-time board member at the Northwest Family Y and part of their Black Achievers Program. Forrest Sanders has a look back.
