NEW YORK, Oct 13 — US actress Selma Blair was arrested after an alleged altercation on a flight from Los Angeles to New York City that injured at least two cabin crew members, authorities said Monday.
The Legally Blonde and Cruel Intentions star was detained at John F Kennedy Airport after her Delta Air Lines flight landed late Sunday following reports of a physically abusive passenger.
US media said that Blair punched one flight attendant and bit another. The 54-year-old then reportedly assaulted a police officer and nurse as she was transported to hospital.
“Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct,” a representative for Blair said.
