NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) -- A man was taken into custody after an international tourist was reportedly stabbed in the head and robbed of his cellphone in downtown Nashville early Friday morning.

According to a Davidson County affidavit, the incident occurred shortly after 4:15 a.m. on Friday, May 2 behind the Ascend Amphitheater in the 200 block of 1st Avenue South.

Per the court documents, officers saw surveillance footage of the suspect -- identified as Domanic Tolbert -- ambushing the victim before the victim ran away. In addition, the footage reportedly showed Tolbert picking up a cellphone after the assault and walking toward 1st Avenue South.

Officials said the victim walked to the Four Seasons Hotel, where staff called 911 to report the incident, adding that there was a witness with the victim at the time of the robbery.

Based on the affidavit, the victim was brought to Vanderbilt University Medical Center due to severe blood loss and penetrating wounds to his head. Authorities described the victim as a tourist from Jalisco, Mexico.

Authorities said they noticed Tolbert across the street from an address in the 500 block of 3rd Avenue South, less than half a mile from the crime scene, with blood on his right hand around 7:30 a.m. on Friday. Seeing as Tolbert reportedly matched the suspect description, Crime Scene Investigation personnel responded to the scene to collect his sweatshirt and swab the blood from his hands.

As written in the court documents, "Due to the surveillance footage of the incident and the totality of the circumstance officers determined [Tolbert] was guilty of especially aggravated robbery."

According to the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, the 43-year-old is being held in the Downtown Detention Center on a $150,000 bond for especially aggravated robbery.

Meanwhile, the Metro Nashville Police Department told News 2 the victim is currently stable at VUMC.
