Selma Blair has been arrested for allegedly assaulting flight attendants on a Delta Airlines flight.
Two flight attendants were injured, with one needing hospitalization.
The FBI is investigating the incident, which Blair's publicist links to a medical emergency.

Actress Selma Blair was arrested on Sunday night after allegedly becoming physically abusive with flight attendants aboard a Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles to New York. The New York Port Authority reported that officers responded to a call about a "physically abusive passenger" upon the flight's arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport, leading to two flight attendants requiring medical assistance, according to BBC and Los Angeles Times.

During the incident, one flight attendant was reportedly treated for a bloody nose, and another was bitten during the altercation, which prompted an FBI investigation. Dispatch audio revealed that the pilot described the altercation, stating that Blair had "bashed her head" on the overhead compartment and needed evaluation herself at the hospital, according to India Times and Los Angeles Times.

Blair's publicist stated that the actress "experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct," and confirmed she received immediate medical attention and was in stable condition post-incident. This marks a troubling pattern for Blair, who previously faced similar issues aboard a flight in 2016, as noted by BBC and India Times.
