Women strikes grandchild in face

A 62-year-old Burbank woman was arrested this week after allegedly

striking her 2-year-old grandson in the face with a sandal and

causing the youngster’s nose to bleed, police said.

Almas Baronian was pushing the boy in a stroller through

McCambridge Park, on Tuesday when she became irritated with the child

and allegedly hit him, police said. A 51-year-old Thousand Oaks man

who witnessed the incident reported it to police and made a citizen’s

arrest.

Police called the California Department of Children and Family

Services, and the child was later released into the custody of his

parents. Baronian, who was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor child

endangerment, was released from jail after posting $15,000 bail. She is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 12
