International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who was arrested over the weekend on sexual-assault charges, has been placed on suicide watch at the Rikers Island jail facility in New York, WNBC reported Tuesday, citing a source.
A Rikers Island medical official ordered the watch as a precaution, WNBC cites its source as saying. Under the watch, Strauss-Kahn's cell is checked every 15 to 30 minutes, and he is supposed to wear shoes without laces.
The WNBC report was initially relayed by CNBC.
