A mother allegedly cut her daughter with a knife during a Santa Clarita assault Thursday evening.

At around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, deputies responded to a call about an assault with a deadly weapon on the 36200 block of Paradise Ranch Road in Castaic, where a victim had reportedly been cut in the hand with a knife by her mother, according to Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“From investigation, deputies learned during a verbal argument between the suspect and victim, the suspect was holding a knife in hand when the victim attempted to grab the suspect’s wrist to prevent being injured,” Arriaga said.

Other family members helped hold back 48-year-old Graciela Rodriguez and take the knife she had been holding, according to Arriaga.

When deputies with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station arrived at the location of the assault, Rodriguez was arrested on felony charges for assault with a deadly weapon with bail set at $30,000, Arriaga said.

The victim of the assault suffered minor injuries from the incident.
