Men Fight With Tree Branch, Pool Cue Outside Antioch Bar, Both Get Stabbed in Neck

ANTIOCH, TN — Two men are recovering after both were stabbed in the neck outside of the Bell Road Thirty Turtle early Monday morning. Though the pair were fighting, it's not clear if they stabbed each other or if someone else was involved.

Metro Police responded to the bar around 1:20 a.m. to find the as-yet-unidentified men both bleeding from stab wounds to the neck. Witnesses said a fight inside the bar escalated into a donnybrook outside in which one man was wielding a pool cue and the other a tree branch.

Since neither item is a pointed weapon, per se, and no one reported seeing either of the men with a knife, it's uncertain how they were stabbed.

The injuries to the men are not life-threatening, according to police. An investigation is ongoing.
