Selma Blair has been charged with second-degree assault after being arrested following a violent incident on a Delta flight on Sunday, according to Queens Criminal Court. The actress posted $200,000 in bail, paid by credit card, and was released on Monday. Blair was arrested after she allegedly punched one flight attendant and bit another on a Delta plane heading from Los Angeles to New York.
Blair also attempted to open the plane door while in the air. Law enforcement was waiting for the 54-year-old “Legally Blonde” actress at John F. Kennedy airport, where police took her into custody and transported her to a hospital for evaluation.
Two flight attendants reported injuries, with one receiving treatment at a hospital. A representative for Blair told Variety: “Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.” Following the altercation on Sunday, the “Cruel Intentions” actress was arrested on Monday by a Port Authority police officer.
She appeared in Queens Criminal Court Monday evening, where she appeared before Judge Indira D. Khan, per court documents viewed by Variety.
