A grand jury will review the case of a man who died while fighting with several men in Chinatown late Friday after he allegedly attempted to rob them, Houston police said.

Investigators said it appears the man was trying to rob an apartment near the intersection of Ranchester and Clarewood just before midnight Friday.

He quickly found himself outnumbered by a group of men inside, police said, and started thrashing at them with a broken bottle, police told a reporter at the scene.

The men tried to get the bottle away from the robbery suspect, and in the struggle, he fell and hit his head, police said.

Three of the men were cut on their arms. Two were taken to a hospital.

All of the men are cooperating with investigators.
