Advertiser Staff

A 37-year-old Palolo Valley woman told police early this morning that a group of five men wielding kitchen knives approached her while she was standing in front of her apartment .

Police were called to investigate shortly after midnight.

The woman told police the group yelled and waved knives at her and that she feared for her safety so she went back into her home, closed the door and called 911.

When police arrived, the woman identified the suspects, who were arrested on suspicion of first-degree terroristic threatening.

The suspects' ages are 22, 18, 19, 27 and 20.
