A Newhall man is facing assault with a deadly weapon charges after allegedly burning an individual with a blow torch after a verbal argument Monday, officials said.

On Monday around 7:40 p.m., deputies responded to the 25000 block of Walnut Street regarding an assault with a deadly weapon call, said Shirley Miller, spokesperson with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

The suspect reportedly got into a verbal argument with his mother, Miller said.
