A woman was raped by a migrant at knifepoint in New York City near a popular beach boardwalk in Brooklyn, police and sources say.Â
The New York City Police Department told Fox News Digital that the incident happened around 9 p.m. on Sunday night near Surf Avenue and West 16 Street in Coney Island.Â
“Upon arrival officers were informed a 46-year-old female was approached by two unidentified individuals and forced her to the ground by holding a knife to her throat. One of the individuals forcibly raped the victim,” an NYPD spokesperson said. “A 34-year-old male victim attempted to intervene and was struck with an object by the second individual.”Â
Police say the female victim was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, while a male victim – whom the New York Post identified through law enforcement sources as her boyfriend – refused medical attention.Â
The suspects were identified by the NYPD as Daniel Bonilla Davon, 24, and Leovando Moreno, 37, who are both homeless. Â
An NYPD source told Fox News that Davon-Bonilla – who is facing charges including first-degree rape and sexual abuse – is a migrant from Nicaragua.Â

Moreno, meanwhile, has been charged with second-degree assault.Â
The incident happened outside a hotel housing asylum seekers and Davon-Bonilla previously was arrested in early April for a criminal sexual act, the NYPD source also told Fox News.Â
