Brooklyn woman sexually assaulted by 2 men in 1-hour span

BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- A woman in Brooklyn was sexually assaulted two times by different men in the span of an hour, and police are hunting for the suspects.

Authorities believe the two men may be working together, mainly because the details in both sexual assaults are identical and they happened just one block apart in the Clinton Hill section. Police said the victim had been out with friends and was on her way home.

The first assault happened around 5 a.m. on Aug. 31 in front of 187 Gates Ave. Police say the suspect pushed the victim to the ground and sexually assaulted her.

The suspect 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. That man was caught on surveillance camera fleeing the scene.

When the victim got home, she told her roommate and they called police.

In the second case, authorities say the victim was shoved to the ground and sexually assaulted. The suspect also threatened to use a gun but he never produced one.
