Man wanted for threatening women with hammer in Historic Edgefield

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Metro Nashville Police are working to identify a man who threatened three women with a hammer after a parking incident on Main Street earlier this month.

According to MNPD, officers responded to the 900 block of Main Street around 10:20 a.m. on March 11 and spoke with the women, who were visiting from out of state.

The women told police they hit the suspect’s car, a maroon Honda Civic, while parking. As their car pulled into the space, the driver of the Honda Civic was pulling out and both cars’ front passenger sides made contact, leaving minor damage.
