BROOKLYN (WABC) -- Police have arrested a second suspect in the case of a Brooklyn woman who was sexually assaulted by two different men in the span of one hour.

Daquan Jackson, 21, is accused of attacking the victim in Clinton Hill on August 31 shortly after she'd been sexually assaulted by another man nearby.

That suspect, identified as 17-year-old Nicholas Issac, was previous taken into custody.

Both are charged with robbery, criminal sex act, unlawful imprisonment, assault and criminal possession.

Authorities believe the two men may have been working together, mainly because the details in both sexual assaults are identical and they happened just one block apart.

Police said the victim had been out with friends and was on her way home.

The first assault happened around 5 a.m. in front of 187 Gates Avenue. Police say Issac pushed the victim to the ground and sexually assaulted her. He allegedly threatened to use a gun but never produced one.

Then, at 6 a.m., police say the woman was attacked again in front of 58 Irving Place. Jackson, they say, was caught on surveillance camera fleeing the scene. When the victim got home, she told her roommate and they called police.
