NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man is facing charges after police say he attacked and choked out a woman after offering her a ride home.
The incident happened August 2 on Glastonbury Road.
The victim told police she had been walking from work to a bus stop on Murfreesboro Pike when 23-year-old Joequarius Williams stopped to offer her a ride home. The woman accepted.
She told police Williams began making sexual advances towards her during the ride home.
When they arrived at the victim's apartment complex, she quickly got out of the car. Surveillance video shows Williams jog after her after she walked out of his view.
The victim told police Williams attacked her in a breezeway, putting her in a choke hold until she lost consciousness.
