Sources have told the outlet that Blair\u2019s bizarre outburst happened on a flight bound for John F Kennedy International Airport in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to 911 audio, which has been obtained by multiple US outlets, a pilot called for medical assistance and law enforcement to be on hand when the plane landed to help with an \u201cabusive\u201d passenger.<\/p>\n

\u201cCould you pass on to the folks at JFK, we\u2019d like to have some medical personnel at the gates for a couple of [flight attendants] involved in the passenger incident,\u201d the pilot said in the recording.<\/p>\n

The pilot confirmed that ambulances were not needed, just medical personnel at the gate when the flight arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the flight attendants was taken to hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources have also said that Blair was put in restraints on the flight and arrested on landing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blair allegedly repeatedly kicked a Port Authority police officer in the head when she was being transported by ambulance to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once at the hospital, the Cruel Intentions star allegedly assaulted a nurse, who has pressed charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TMZ is reporting that Blair has been charged with two counts of assault, one on a police officer and another on a nurse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSelma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct. Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition,\u201d her rep said in a statement to Page Six.<\/p>\n

nine.com.au has also reached out to Blair\u2019s management for comment.<\/p>\n
