Metro Police arrested a man last night nicknamed "Kool-Aid" that is suspected of stabbing another man at least six times and robbed him in north Nashville on Tuesday.
The victim told police that Marcus Kirkland, 46, tried to kill him. The victim is at Vanderbilt Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
Police detained Kirkland yesterday after he purchased crack cocaine on S. 5th St. from an undercover officer, and questioned him regarding the attempted murder.
Kirkland admitted to being at the crime scene with the victim smoking drugs. He said he didn't know who stabbed the victim, but that he tried to help him.
A witness says that he saw another man and Kool-Aid pull the victim down to the ground. Kirkland, he says, said, "I think I just hurt that guy."
Kirkland is being held on $237,000 bond.

Trial begins in international custody case
May 21, 2013 08:06 GMT
By SHEILA BURKE Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A trial begins Tuesday that could determine which country will decide the fate of 13-year-old twin boys at the center of an international custody battle that extends from Eastern Europe to Middle Tennessee.
The boys are American citizens who were born in Texas but have spent the majority of their lives in Hungary. Their father is an American citizen with family in the Cottontown community of Sumner County. Their mother, a Romanian national, has invoked an international treaty claiming the children are being wrongfully retained in Tennessee by their father.
The boys came to Tennessee last year to visit their paternal grandparents in Sumner County for the summer. The father, who was supposed to bring them back to Europe, stayed in the U.S. and filed for divorce.
