A trip to the local bar ended in injury and arrest when one patron was attacked with a "large chain" by a man dressed in camouflage.

According to Metro Nashville police, a man was attacked at a bar on Smith Springs Road near Anderson Road in the Priest Lake area of Nashville on Monday night (March 1). Officers responded to the scene after receiving reports of a reported assault, and upon arriving found a man with an injury to his forehead, WKRN reports.

A warrant revealed that a camo-clad man was "causing a scene" at the front door of the bar, waving a knife and threatening to stab customers. Another patron at the bar was able to get the knife away from the man, but the suspect then reportedly picked up a "large chain" and began swinging it around, the news outlet reports.
