Hanford police were called out to a home on Lassen Drive near Florinda Street yesterday morning.
Schools nearby were placed on temporary lockdown because the assault suspect was possibly armed with a gun.
Investigators say the man, identified as Andrew Yanez, attacked and threatened the victim, who was holding a child.
Officers tried to speak with him at his home, but he refused to come out.
Eventually, Yanez surrendered and was arrested on charges of domestic violence, criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon and child endangerment.
He was booked into the Kings County jail.
