Selma Blair allegedly injured several Delta flight attendants before being arrested for trying to open the plane door mid-flight.
A pilot called for medical assistance and law enforcement to be on hand when the plane landed to help an “abusive” passenger on a flight from LAX in Los Angeles to JFK in New York City on Sunday, according to 911 audio recordings.
“Can you inform the guys at JFK, we want some medical personnel at the gates.” [flight attendants] In the recording, the pilot said he was involved in the passenger incident.
“They just need to look at a few things,” he added.
When asked for an “estimated number of stations” on how many ambulances they would need, the pilot replied: “No ambulances. Just some medical staff on hand for two flight attendants at the gate should be enough for that.”
In the extended 911 audio clip obtained by TMZ, the pilot described what kind of “minor” injuries the flight attendants and the “Cruel Intentions” actress suffered.
“There’s a bloody nose and some bite marks,” he said.
The pilot also claimed that the “disturbing passenger” also “hit his head on the bulkhead” and had to “potentially get checked as well as intervene with law enforcement.”
Blair, 54, allegedly got into a physical altercation with Delta flight attendants while trying to open the plane door during the flight.
Sources tell us, “On Sunday, October 11, at approximately 11 p.m., PAPD at JFK Airport responded to a call about a physically abusive passenger on Delta Airlines Flight 938, which was parked at the gate after arriving from LAX.”
“The suspect was identified as Selma Blair…she was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for evaluation,” they added.
“Two flight attendants also reported injuries, and one was transported to the hospital for further evaluation. The FBI is investigating this incident. Please contact the airline and the FBI for more information.”
Blair’s rep told Page Six that he “experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged behavior” and is currently in a “stable condition.”
According to TMZ, the “Legally Blonde” star was charged with two assaults, one on a police officer and the other on a nurse who Blair allegedly attacked when she went to the hospital.
In an exclusive statement to Page Six, Delta Airlines condemned Blair for his “unruly” behavior during the flight.
A spokesperson for the airline told us on Monday: “Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or illegal behavior because the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.”
“There is no operational impact to the flight due to the aircraft landing at JFK ahead of schedule,” a Delta representative added. “Law enforcement intervened upon the plane’s arrival at JFK.”
