Actor Selma Blair was arrested on Sunday at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York following allegations that she attacked flight attendants aboard a Delta Air Lines flight, according to officials.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey officials said they responded to a call reporting a "physically abusive passenger" aboard Delta Air Lines flight 938, which was parked at the gate at JFK after arriving from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Several news outlets have reported that Blair allegedly struck one flight attendant and bit another, and that she attempted to open a plane door during the incident, though the full details of the altercation have not been independently confirmed by all parties involved.
The arrest took place at approximately 11 p.m. local time, according to officials, after the flight had already landed and was positioned at the gate.
Blair, known for roles in a number of film and television projects over her career, has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident or the allegations against her.
Delta Air Lines has not released a detailed public statement about the specific circumstances of the incident beyond confirming that law enforcement responded to the aircraft after it arrived at the gate.
It remains unclear what charges, if any, have been formally filed against Blair as a result of the arrest, and further details are expected to emerge as the case proceeds through the relevant legal process.
