NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A man is in police custody after police say two people were stabbed at a bar in the East Hill overnight.

Police responded to the Cobra bar on Gallatin Avenue around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. One was taken to Vanderbilt hospital and the second was not transported.

The suspect, later identified as 43-year-old James Lucas Smith is charged with two counts of aggravated assault.

Two people were shot and killed in a robbery at this same bar back in 2018.

The victims were Bartley Teal and Jaime Sarrantonio. At the time detectives believed the gunmen were looking for random victims.

Police later arrested Demontrey Logsdon and Horace Williamson on murder charges. Both men have since been convicted and are serving life without parole.
