NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Actor Selma Blair<\/a> was arrested and taken to a hospital late Sunday night after she was accused of injuring two flight attendants on a plane from Los Angeles to New York.<\/p>\n

Blair, 54, was detained by police at around 11 p.m. after the Delta Air Lines jet parked at the gate at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Blair and one of the flight attendants were taken to a hospital for evaluation, the Port Authority said.<\/p>\n

Details of what happened aboard the aircraft weren\u2019t immediately disclosed by the airline, police or the FBI, which was investigating, but Delta said in a statement it \u201chas zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Blair representative told The Associated Press that the actor had a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct.<\/p>\n

The FBI later issued Blair a notice charging her with assault, according to a federal law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren\u2019t authorized to speak publicly about the matter.<\/p>\n

The matter will be handled through the petty violations court in federal court in Brooklyn. No date has been set for Blair\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n

It’s not the first time Blair has had issues aboard a plane. In 2016, Blair apologized<\/a> for making statements she later regretted during a flight from Cancun to Los Angeles. She said she had mixed alcohol with medication, causing her to black out.<\/p>\n

Blair had major roles in films including 1999’s \u201cCruel Intentions,\u201d 2001’s \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d and 2004’s \u201cHellboy.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years, she has advocated for disability rights. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018<\/a>. In 2023, she joined President Joe Biden at the White House to celebrate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.<\/p>\n
