ضَرَبْتُ وَأَكْرَمَنِي زَيْدٌ — I struck Zayd, and Zayd honored me.

ضَرَبْتُ: past verb built on sukūn; «تُ» is its subject; the object is omitted but contextually understood as Zayd.
وَ: conjunction.
أَكْرَمَ: active past verb.
نِي: accusative object pronoun.
زَيْدٌ: nominative subject of «أَكْرَمَ», marked by ḍamma.

The overt «زَيْدٌ» cannot be parsed as accusative just because the first verb also relates to it.
