Farhan Khan, 27, of Franklin Square, LI, allegedly accosted the 35-year-old woman in a room at the Comfort Inn on West 71st Street just steps from Central Park at around 3 a.m. on Dec. 30, sources said.

Khan, convicted of drug possession in 2014, allegedly tied her up before making the threat, sources said.

He allegedly threatened her with a hammer and yelled, “Don’t fight, and I’ll let you go, I’ll let you go soon,” according to sources.

He allegedly forced her to give him oral sex before raping her, sources said.

She broke free and fled.

Khan was held without bail at his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.
