Actor Selma Blair arrested at JFK following alleged mid-air incident on Delta flight
Officials confirmed the arrest at John F. Kennedy Airport after reports of a physically abusive passenger aboard a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles.
Actor Selma Blair was arrested at John F. Kennedy (JFK) Airport in New York on Sunday evening following an alleged mid-air incident aboard a Delta Air Lines flight. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey officials confirmed her apprehension at approximately 11 pm, after they were called to respond to reports of a "physically abusive passenger" on Delta Air Lines flight 938.
The flight, which had originated from Los Angeles (LAX), had landed at JFK and was parked at its designated gate when officials intervened. The response by airport authorities led to Ms. Blair's arrest in connection with the reported disturbance.
Reports from several news outlets detailed the nature of the alleged altercation during the journey. Ms. Blair was accused of assaulting flight attendants while the aircraft was en route. Specific allegations included claims that she allegedly punched one flight attendant, bit another, and attempted to open a door on the plane during the flight.
The alleged incident reportedly resulted in injuries to two flight attendants who were working on the New York-bound flight. The severity or specific nature of these injuries was not immediately disclosed in the reports.
Following the events, a representative for the actor issued a statement, attributing the incident to a medical emergency. The exact details of the medical condition were not provided in the statement.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has since initiated an inquiry into the matter. The investigation is ongoing to ascertain the full circumstances surrounding the reported events on board the Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York.
