Officers at around 4:45 p.m. Sunday responded to Old Hickory Boulevard on the report of the incident, and one of the victims told police that Johnson nearly rear-ended him after he’d been seen driving aggressively.

An argument ensued after the two men exited their vehicles, and the 80-year-old woman, a passenger in the vehicle that was nearly struck, got out of the car to try to break up the fight, police said.

Johnson then proceeded to pick up the woman and threw her into the opposite lane of traffic, police said.
