A Tennessee man accused of grabbing a 14-year-old girl on a street in a popular tourist destination Sunday was tackled by the girl’s father and some bystanders, police said.

Eric Craig, 38, was held down until officers arrived. Police say he grabbed the teen on Broadway near many of the honky-tonk bars in Nashville.

Craig has been charged with assault, according to an arrest affidavit. It said he grabbed the teen by the shoulder and spun her around to face him.
