When do I need to tap an opponent's creature to stop it attacking?
Several community members give the same answer in the forum threads; no official ruling.

Before attackers are declared, in their beginning of combat step. Once a creature has been declared as an attacker, tapping it does not remove it from combat, and untapping an attacker does not remove it either.
