GLENDALE - Five men remained in jail Tuesday with bail set at $500,000 each after being arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in a gang-related home-invasion robbery.

The five were arrested after police received two 911 calls from an apartment in the 120 block of Sinclair Avenue just before 11:30 p.m. Monday. The second call indicated a man was being ``tortured with a knife by gang members in his house,'' Glendale police Sgt. Rick Young said.

Officials said the victim, Steve Song, 21, suffered a fractured skull when he was beaten with an assault weapon that was later found in a toilet tank in his bathroom. A woman living in the apartment, Janet Choi, 25, was unhurt.

Young said it appears Song was targeted by the men, who demanded the title to his car. Young also said the robbery appeared to be gang- and drug-related.

Police arrested Thanh Nguyen, 21, of Baldwin Park, coming out of the apartment, and Phuoc Van Luu, 21, of El Monte, and Sahib Mohamed, 19, of Rosemead, after kicking down a locked bedroom door.

Another man, John Agnick, 19, of Los Angeles, jumped out a window and ran, but was chased down by police. A small-caliber handgun fell out of Agnick's pocket while he was being handcuffed, Young said.

Joseph Ly, 20, of Rosemead, was waiting in a car outside when he was arrested, officials said.
