Selma Blair Charged with Second-Degree Assault Following Plane Incident, Released on $20,000 Bail

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.”
