A Canyon Country man was arrested Friday after he allegedly assaulted his father and escaped police custody.

Friday morning, deputies responded to the 17300 block of Humphreys Parkway in Canyon Country regarding a possible elder abuse report, said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Upon arrival, deputies learned that the victim, an adult male and the suspect’s father, had been physically assaulted by the suspect,” Miller said.

The victim was treated on scene by paramedics with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Douglas Miller, 39, from Canyon Country, was arrested for felony elder abuse, according to Sheriff’s officials.

During the transfer, the suspect reportedly escaped from custody. After a brief foot chase, the suspect was subsequently taken back into custody and charged with felony escape.

He remains in custody with no bail, Miller added.
