LAKE ELSINORE, CA — A 28-year-old man was arrested on numerous charges, including attempted murder, kidnapping and torture, Monday morning after deputies were called to Perret Park in Lake Elsinore by a security guard reporting a domestic-violence incident between a male and a female, according to authorities.

Deputies arriving on the 32000 block of Perret Boulevard at about 6:39 a.m. found the woman who "had suffered significant trauma," the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.
