A man was arrested Friday after he allegedly threatened a person with a knife in Canyon Country.

Around 9 p.m., deputies responded to the 27300 block of Rock Rose Lane in Canyon Country regarding a domestic violence call, said Deputy Mariela Picard, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Upon arrival, deputies contacted the victim, who stated the suspect pointed a knife at her while standing,” Picard said. “The suspect… reportedly ordered the victim to move out of his way as he held the knife toward her.”

The victim fearing for her life and believing she might be stabbed, went to a nearby neighbor’s residence, according to officials. 

Deputies eventually located and arrested Walter Rainey, 47, of Canyon Country for felony assault with a deadly weapon.

Rainey was booked into the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station jail with a $30,000 bail.
