A warrant charging attempted criminal homicide has been issued against him. Greene has been jailed since August 25 following his arrest for assaulting a first responder, public intoxication, and resisting arrest.
Hermitage Precinct detectives are working to identify the man who Thursday at 7:30 p.m. stabbed another man, for no apparent reason, at the gas pumps at Exxon, 2664 Smith Springs Road.
The 29-year-old victim was getting gas when the suspect approached him from behind and stabbed him in the head and neck area.

The suspect is a black man who wore a blue hooded sweatshirt and dark pants. Anyone who recognizes him from the attached surveillance photo is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
