Man suspected of beating up sister

PASADENA -- Police jailed a man Sunday on suspicion of badly beating his sister during an argument Sunday.
Jose Hernandez, 41, of Pasadena was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Pasadena police Lt. Keith Jones said.
The incident occurred just after 4:30 p.m. at Hernandez's home in the 200 block of Clinton Street, the lieutenant said.
Fire departments responded to a medical call at the home and found a woman in her 30s suffering from facial and other injuries after being beaten, Jones said. She was hospitalized in stable condition.
Firefighters notified police of the apparent assault, and officers identified her brother as a suspect in the attack, he said.
Hernandez had left the scene on foot when police arrived, Jones said, but police found him at a friend's home about half a mile away near Raymond Avenue and Esther Street and arrested him without further incident.
Jones added that police have had to intervene at least once before in an argument between the brother and sister, though he was not aware of any previous physical fights.
According to sheriff's booking records, Hernandez was being held in lieu of $30,000 bail.
