One person was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries following reports of an assault with a deadly weapon involving a knife on Thursday afternoon in Saugus, according to a Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station official.
The incident was reported at approximately 5:30 p.m. on the 22300 block of Paraguay Drive near Central Park, which prompted a large response from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
According to Sgt. Jerome Gage, a spokesman for the station, the large response and an aerial unit to fly overhead advising residents to stay indoors were dispatched to the scene as a precautionary measure. It was not immediately known whether the suspect inside the home had any weapons after he barricaded himself.
The suspect stabbed one male victim during the incident. Circumstances that led to the stabbing were not immediately available as of the publication of this story, according to Gage.
Deputies remained on the scene until 6:30 p.m. before they disengaged from the incident. No arrests were made.
