Valencia Assault Suspect Arrested After Injuring Former Employer

A Valencia assault suspect was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly sent his former employer to the hospital after injuring her during a physical fight.

Around 9 a.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to a business on the 25500 block of Avenue Stanford in Valencia regarding a possible domestic violence incident, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

However, when deputies arrived on scene, they learned the parties involved were not in a relationship.

“Upon arrival, deputies learned the victim was physically assaulted by a former employee…, during a verbal argument,” Arriaga said.

The victim was transported to a local hospital for evaluation regarding her injuries, according to officials.

Vilen Kirakosyan, 29, from Sun Valley was arrested on a felony count of assault with a deadly weapon, his hands being the weapon, Arriaga added.

Kirakosyan was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail with bail set at $30,000, according to arrest records.
