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.

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
