Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to a call early Thursday morning when a woman was reportedly being chased by a man with a knife at the Rodeway Inn.
Deputies were dispatched at 12:43 a.m. to the initial assault call.
Upon their arrival, the woman told deputies that the man ran toward her with a knife, according to Deputy Robert Jensen, spokesman for the station.
There was a little bit of a physical altercation, Jensen said. The suspect and victim did know each other, too, he said.

The 39-year-old man from Castaic remains in custody as of the publication of this story.
