Selma Blair was arrested on Sunday after an alleged violent incident on a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York, Variety has confirmed.
The “Legally Blonde” actress allegedly punched one flight attendant and bit another after attempting to open the plane door while in the air, per TMZ. Law enforcement was parked at the gate and responded to the incident once the aircraft landed in in New York, where the 54-year-old Blair was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for evaluation. Two flight attendants reported injuries, with one receiving care at a hospital.
A representative for Blair told TMZ: “Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.”
The Port Authority confirmed Blair’s identity to Variety. A source says the FBI is currently investigating the incident.
In a statement to Variety, a Delta Airlines spokesperson said, “Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.”
