Police have arrested a brute accused of raping a 49-year-old woman during a horrifying armed robbery in Brooklyn over the weekend.
Mohammed Izzeddin, 22, of Bay Ridge, was taken into custody on Thursday and charged with rape, robbery, assault and several other charges, according to police.
His traumatized victim said she hasn’t been able to sleep since Saturday’s vicious attack.
The victim told Pix 11 that she and two female co-workers were at an unnamed business near 9th Avenue and 59th Street around 6 p.m. Saturday, when a pair of robbers forced their way through the door.
The victim, who does not speak English, said “the bad guy hit me in the face very hard,” after getting inside.

The accomplice remains at large.
