US actress Selma Blair arrested after allegedly attacking attendants on flight
US actress Selma Blair was arrested on Sunday and taken to hospital after an incident on a Delta Airlines flight bound for New York.
US actress Selma Blair has been arrested and taken to hospital after authorities said she attacked two flight attendants on a flight.
Airport officials said they responded on Sunday to a call about "a physically abusive passenger" on a Delta Airlines flight travelling from Los Angeles to New York. The New York Port Authority said two flight attendants were injured and one was taken to hospital.
The 54-year-old actress, best known for her roles in Legally Blonde, Hellboy and Cruel Intentions, was taken into custody and transported to hospital. The FBI is investigating.
Blair's publicist told the BBC that she "experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct".
"Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition," her publicist said.
A Delta Airlines spokesperson said law enforcement responded as the flight arrived at John F Kennedy International Airport in New York, and that the incident did not affect the flight's operations.
"Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first," Delta Airlines said in a statement to the BBC.
