Summary
Queens prosecutors arraigned Selma Blair on two second-degree assault counts after an alleged Sunday altercation aboard Delta Flight 938, and she was later released after bail was set at $20,000 cash.
Port Authority police said two flight attendants were injured after the Los Angeles-to-New York flight landed at JFK; pilots had requested medics after reporting a bloody nose and bite marks.
The criminal complaint also alleges Blair repeatedly kicked a Port Authority officer during transport to an ambulance and later kicked a nurse at Jamaica Hospital, leaving both in pain and requiring treatment.
Federal authorities separately issued a summons over alleged assaults within U.S. special maritime jurisdiction, while the FBI and FAA are investigating; Delta said the flight arrived early and had no operational disruption.
Blair's representative said a medical emergency triggered the alleged conduct; the case was adjourned to Jan. 19, 2027, and follows a separate 2016 in-flight incident.
