A juvenile has been detained and arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a fight with another juvenile at the 29000 block of Garnet Canyon Drive on Saturday night, according to officials with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
The fight took place at Pacific Crest Park after 10 p.m. during a party with underage drinking, according to Deputy Nicolas Marinelli with the station.
Posts being shared on social media platforms showed one male teen smash another with a bottle during an apparent confrontation near the park, which appeared to be crowded with teenagers.
The incident remains under investigation by the station’s Juvenile and Gangs Team, according to Shirley Miller, spokeswoman for the SCV Sheriff’s Station, in a phone conversation Monday evening.
She said one of the victims reported injuries from being struck from behind, and he was taken to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital for medical treatment. Three other victims reported injuries from the glass that flew from the bottle, she said.
Footage from the incident appeared to show additional teens being detained by sheriff’s deputies, but Miller could not confirm any additional arrests Monday.
The first call was at about 10:05 p.m., with a second call of the party at 10:49 p.m., Marinelli said.
Marinelli added that he could not determine the exact time when the first units arrived on the scene due to them patrolling the area.
The suspect was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and transported to Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey, Marinelli said.
