Police Arrest Second Of Two Suspects Who Allegedly Sexually Assaulted Woman Within An Hour
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Police on Wednesday arrested and charged a second of two suspects who allegedly sexually assaulted the same victim within a period of an hour in Brooklyn.
Daquan Jackson, 21, of Brooklyn, was charged with a criminal sex act Wednesday in connection with one of the assaults, which both took place between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 31, police said.
Already arrested this past Sunday was Nicholas Isaac, 17, also of Brooklyn. He was charged with robbery, a criminal sex act, unlawful imprisonment, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Authorities alleged Issac approached the victim on Gates Avenue in Clinton Hill at around 5 a.m. and sexually assaulted her, CBS 2 reported. Issac allegedly threatened the use of the gun but did not display one.

Police claimed Jackson sexually assaulted the victim about an hour later as she walked on Irving Place. In that incident, police said the suspect pushed her to the ground, and sexually assaulted her.
Like Isaac, Jackson allegedly threatened the use of a gun, but did not display one, police said.
Residents in the area this past weekend told 1010 WINS' Roger Stern they feel comfortable walking at night, up to a point.
"A lot of times if you're walking down the block and it's really dark you don't feel too safe," one woman said. "My girlfriend used to tell me to walk in the middle of the street. She used to work late."
