A son was arrested after allegedly assaulting his mother with a knife in El Segundo, authorities said Wednesday.
The alleged attack took place around 6 a.m. Monday in the 300 block of Penn Street, near Grand Avenue, according to the El Segundo Police Department.
A crisis negotiation team and a SWAT team were deployed following the suspect’s refusal to exit the residence, police said. He eventually complied and was taken into custody.
It was unclear what led to the altercation, but authorities said the mother has since been treated and released from the hospital.
The suspect was not identified. The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for a charge of attempted murder, according to police.
