Actress Selma Blair was taken into custody and faces multiple charges after assaulting flight attendants aboard a plane en route to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City, according to law enforcement sources. The Port Authority Police Department responded to a call around 11 p.m. Sunday about a passenger who had been physically abusive aboard a Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles International Airport, a spokesperson for the department said. The passenger was identified as the 54-year-old Blair. The “Cruel Intentions” star attacked two flight attendants, one of whom had a bite mark and another had suffered a cut, law enforcement sources told NBC New York. One flight attendant was taken to the hospital for treatment, Port Authority said. The plane went on “lockdown,” sources said, adding that Blair was restrained in some way, but had not been duct taped.

Port Authority Police and the FBI responded as the plane landed at the Queens airport. Blair was taken into custody and issued a violation summons by the FBI for the on-board assault, according to a senior law enforcement official. The violation she received can carry up to a year in prison, the senior law enforcement official said. A summons is issued in lieu of an arrest and, in essence, amounts to a federal misdemeanor, an official told NBC New York. The recipient of the summons is expected to show up for a court hearing at a later date where a penalty is negotiated, typically resulting in a fine or counseling. As she was being taken on a stretcher to Jamaica Hospital for evaluation, Blair freed one of her legs from the straps and kicked a Port Authority Police officer repeatedly in the face, neck and chest area, according to charging documents. The actress also allegedly kicked a nurse at the hospital in the chest. Blair was arraigned in Queens criminal court Monday night on two counts of felony second-degree assault in connection to those later incidents. Her attorneys posted the $20,000 cash bail, and Blair left the courthouse without answering questions from reporters. Her attorneys also did not speak. Blair had a support dog with her at the time of the incident, according to sources. Her lawyer met her at the hospital and took possession of the dog. A representative for Blair said the actress “experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct.” She “received immediate medical attention” after landing and was recovering at the hospital, the rep said, without providing further details regarding the medical episode. Blair revealed in 2018 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The FBI was investigating the incident, and confirmed to NBC News it had been contacted about a “potential assault aboard a flight that arrived into JFK.” The bureau told NBC News “as per long-standing DOJ policy, we do not comment on ongoing investigations.” The Federal Aviation Administration also said it would investigate a “passenger disturbance” on the flight. In a response to a request for comment from NBC News on Monday, Delta did not identify Blair as the passenger, but said it has “zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.” Blair, whose major film credits also include 2001’s “Legally Blonde” and 2004’s “Hellboy,” is due back in court on Jan. 19. Sunday night’s incident was not the first aboard a plane for Blair. She had a verbal outburst on a flight in 2016 from Cancun to Los Angeles in which she accused someone of wanting to kill her, TMZ reported at the time. She was taken off the flight on a stretcher and transported to a hospital when the flight landed in Los Angeles. She later admitted to Vanity Fair that she had blacked out after mixing alcohol and medication, and apologized for her behavior.
