CLINTON HILL — A teen was arrested for sexually assaulting and then robbing a woman while threatening to shoot her on a Clinton Hill street — one of two times that the woman was attacked in one morning, police said. 

Nicholas Isaac, 17, was arrested Saturday and charged with a criminal sexual act, sex abuse, assault and robbery for allegedly attacking a 31-year-old woman on the steps of 187 Gates Ave. around 5 a.m. on Aug. 31.

The same woman was assaulted again by another man after asking for help nearby an hour later, police sources said.

Police are still looking for the second suspect, who was caught on surveillance video and is described as 6 feet tall and weighing 170 pounds.

Issac, who lives just blocks from where the assault occurred, grabbed the woman's arm and pushed her onto the stoop of the building while threatening to shoot her if she did not perform a sex act, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney's office.

He then assaulted her while she struggled to get away and later stole her purse, according to documents.

Isaac, whose bail was set at $50,000, has nine prior arrests including possession of stolen property, grand larceny and tresspassing, police said. The results of those cases was not clear.

Five of the arrests were sealed.

His next court date is on Oct. 25.

Isaac could not be reached for comment at his home and it was not clear if he had a lawyer.
