DOMINIQUE Strauss-Kahn, head of the International Monetary Fund, was arrested in New York City on accusations of sexually attacking a Manhattan hotel maid, it is reported yesterday.
Three Port Authority detectives pulled Strauss-Kahn from his plane's first-class cabin at John F. Kennedy International Airport just two minutes before it was due to depart for Paris, according to reports of The New York Times and New York Post.
"Mr. Strauss-Kahn, a candidate for president of France, was taken off an Air France flight by officers from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and turned over to Manhattan detectives," The New York Times said, citing a Port Authority spokesman.
It is reported that the alleged attack took place at a Times Square hotel earlier in the day and New York police are investigating the case.
Strauss-Kahn, 62, is the leader of France's Socialist Party. He is also the main rival to President Nicholas Sarkozy in the 2012 elections.
He is married to New York-born journalist Anne Sinclair. He took over the IMF in November 2007.
