RANCHO DISTRICT -- A man who was a friend of the victims of an alleged

armed robbery was stabbed in the head by an unknown assailant, officials

said.

The 30-year-old Burbank man, whose name was not released, was stabbed

Sunday afternoon in the left side of his head with a small-blade knife

during an argument with another man, Sgt. Jay Jette said. He said the man

received a broken nose and a black eye, as well.

The man did not report the incident until Tuesday, Jette said.

The man told police he was talking to friends in the 300 block of

North Glenwood Place when another man approached him and accused the

victim of knowing about the Saturday night armed robbery.

"I think there was a relationship between them because of some of the

things that were said," Jette said. He added that the circumstances of

the incidents were unclear due to all the people involved.

"Three or four people down the line, we get a very distorted view of

what happened," he said.

Police are searching for the four suspected gang members who allegedly

committed the Saturday holdup.

A man told police that four men knocked on his door, drew their guns

and ordered everyone on the floor.

He told police that he and his friends were sitting in his apartment

living room, smoking methamphetamine, when the robbers showed up.
