Overview
- Selma Blair was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for evaluation after a reported disturbance on a Delta flight that landed at JFK on Sunday.
- Port Authority police and multiple outlets say Blair allegedly tried to open an aircraft door mid‑flight, punched one flight attendant and bit another, and crew restrained her until landing.
- Two flight attendants reported injuries and one received hospital care, and dispatch audio obtained by outlets described a bloody nose and bite marks among the reported wounds.
- The FBI confirmed it was notified and is investigating the alleged in‑flight assaults and the FAA has opened a separate probe into the passenger disturbance.
- Blair’s representative calls the episode a medical emergency, press reports say she later allegedly struck a Port Authority officer and a nurse while being transported and evaluated, and prosecutors are reviewing those reports for possible charges.
