A suspect was hospitalized after a reported deputy-involved fight at the Westfield Valencia Town Center mall Monday afternoon, officials said.

At around 3:30 Monday, deputies requested backup near Wokcano at the mall on Valencia Boulevard, according to Shirley Miller spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“No deputies were injured,” Miller said. “The suspect was sent to the hospital.”

A male adult became combative deputies after they made contact, according to Miller.

Deputies requested an ambulance to treat a victim, according to Marvin Lim with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

“It came in as an assault,” Lim said. “The report is a possible deputy-involved fight.”

Michael Nadis, who says he watched the scene unfold, reported seeing a “large male” on top of a deputy in the parking lot near the entrance of the mall, with another deputy attempting to pull the suspect off.

“We saw a (deputy) on his back,” Nadis said. “More cops were there within minutes.”

One person was transported to a local hospital in unknown condition, according to Miller.
