NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A man was charged with assault after reportedly hitting a Metro employee with his car over a parking ticket.

Metro police said 24-year-old Jacobi Austin allegedly grew upset when a Nashville Department of Transportation employee wrote him a parking ticket on 6th Avenue North near Union Street on Monday, May 6.

The victim told police Austin approached him and tried to slap the ticket book out of his hand. The victim continued to write the ticket for a Ford sedan that was parked illegally when Austin got into his vehicle and hit the victim with the car before driving off, according to investigators.

Austin was charged with aggravated assault, while the victim was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
