Police late Thursday arrested an 11th suspect in connection with the alleged bias attacks on three men in the Bronx.

Investigators say Luis Garcia, 26, was arrested at his home located around the corner from where the alleged attacks happened.

Ten other suspected members of the "Latin King Goonies" gang are accused of kidnapping and assaulting two teens and a man inside a Morris Heights apartment last week.

Police say those arrested suspected the victims, including a gang recruit, were gay.

They are also accused of beating and robbing one of the victim's brothers.

Police say Garcia had a chain wrapped around his fist when he punched him during the robbery.

While in court Thursday, attorneys for the men told a judge they are innocent and will testify at the trial.

They are scheduled to appear before a grand jury next week.
