Boyfriend Arrested For Assault After Ramming Vehicle Of ‘Other Boyfriend’

A Van Nuys man was arrested Thursday afternoon after allegedly ramming the vehicle of his partner’s “other boyfriend,” officials said.

The incident was reported Thursday at a mobile home park on Soledad Canyon Road near Agua Dulce Canyon Road, according to Officer Josh Greengard, spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Newhall Area Office.

A woman reportedly called her boyfriend to pick her up because she “doesn’t want to be there anymore.”

“(The) first boyfriend doesn’t pick up the phone at first, she calls the other boyfriend,” Greengard said. “Time goes by, both boyfriends show up.”

A verbal argument ensues, which then escalated further.

One of the boyfriends rammed his BMW into the “other boyfriend’s” Toyota Tacoma, according to Greengard.

The suspect, Jose Martinez, 38, of Van Nuys, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, according to investigators.

Martinez was booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station in lieu of $30,000 before being released on bond, according to arrest records.
