Brookline Police arrested a second suspect last night in the brazen abduction and rape of a 30-year-old woman who was walking in Coolidge Corner early Tuesday when she was attacked.

Police said 26-year-old Ismael Martinez of Waltham was arrested at his home Friday night, following Thursday’s capture of 25-year-old Jose Arita, a Guatemalan construction worker.

Arita, who police said is in the country illegally, pleaded not guilty in Brookline District Court to charges of aggravated sexual assault, assault with intent to rape, and kidnapping.

Martinez, also a construction worker, had worked with Arita in the past, police said.

He faces charges of kidnapping, rape and misleading police. He was ordered held without bail and will be arragined Monday morning.
