Woman Sexually Assaulted Twice in 1 Hour in Brooklyn: Police

Police are looking for two men who they say sexually assaulted the same woman in separate attacks about an hour apart in Brooklyn late last month.

The woman was approached by the first suspect on Gates Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant at about 5 a.m. Aug. 31, police say. The man allegedly forced the woman to the ground and sexually assaulted her, then fled.

An hour later, police say a second man approached the woman on Irving Place, about a block away. He also allegedly pushed the woman to the ground and sexually assaulted her.

Both men threatened to use a gun during the attacks, but didn’t show one, police say.

Surveillance video from near the scene of the second attack shows the second suspect walking down the street.

Anyone with information about either attacker is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
