Multiple people injured in carjacking spree across Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Multiple people were injured in a carjacking spree across Nashville Thursday night.
Officers were first called to a parking lot in the 2400 block of Charlotte Pike around 10:45 p.m. A driver called for help after a man not wearing a shirt approached his Tesla, opened the door and told him to get out. He then punched the victim in the head multiple times, dragged him from the vehicle and tried to drive away.

The Tesla was linked to the victim's phone so the suspect could not drive away with the phone outside the vehicle. The suspect got out and chased the victim around the parking lot before turning to an occupied Toyota Prius.
The driver of the Prius told officers the man opened the driver's side door, punched him in the head, pulled him from the vehicle and drove away. The Prius was later located on 30th Avenue South.
Officers were then called to the McDonald's on West End Avenue for a carjacking attempt. That victim said he was sitting in his Prius when the man opened the door, assaulted him and tried to take his vehicle. He was unsuccessful and ran away.

The suspect was then located on 21st Avenue South and taken into custody. All victims identified him as the man who attacked them.
All victims wish to press charges. The suspect refused to identify himself and had no identification so he was booked into the Metro jail as John Doe.
