Kennedy International  Airport, officials said. In Washington, an International Monetary Fund spokeswoman had no immediate comment.Strauss-Kahn was taken off the Air France flight at John F. Kennedy  International Airport by officers from the Port Authority of New York  and New Jersey and turned over to police on Saturday afternoon, said  Paul J. Browne, New York Police Department spokesman. He was being questioned by the NYPD special victims office. Strauss-Kahn  had retained an attorney and was not making statements to police,  Browne said. "He's being arrested for a criminal sex act, attempted rape and unlawful  imprisonment," Browne said. The 32-year-old woman told authorities that  she entered Strauss-Kahn's suite at the luxury Sofitel hotel not far  from Manhattan's Times Square at about 1pm Eastern time (1600 GMT)  Saturday and he attacked her, Browne said. She said she had been told to clean the spacious $3000-a-night-suite  suite, which she had been told was empty. According to an account the  woman provided to police, Strauss-Kahn emerged from the bathroom naked,  chased her down a hallway and pulled her into a bedroom, where he began  to sexually assault her. She said she fought him off, then he dragged her into the bathroom,  where he forced her to perform oral sex on him and tried to remove her  underwear. The woman was able to break free again and escaped the room  and told hotel staff what had happened, authorities said. They called  police. When New York City police detectives arrived moments later, Strauss-Kahn  had already left the hotel, leaving behind his cellphone, Browne said.  "It looked like he got out of there in a hurry," Browne said. The NYPD discovered that he was at the airport and contacted Port  Authority officials, who plucked Kahn from first class on the Air France  flight that was scheduled to depart at 4:40 p.m. and was just about to  leave the gate. <a href="http://gulfnews.com/news/world/usa/imf-chief-formally-charged-with-sexual-assault-police-1.807923" target="_blank">http://gulfnews.com/news/world/usa/imf-chief-formally-charged-with-sexual-assault-police-1.807923</a></blockquote>
