Actress Selma Blair was arrested and hospitalized after allegedly confronting flight crew members aboard a Delta Air Lines flight traveling from Los Angeles to John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday, October 11, 2026.

According to law enforcement reports and emergency dispatch audio, the 54-year-old star suffered what her representatives termed a severe medical emergency during the flight. The situation escalated into a physical altercation involving flight attendants, resulting in reported injuries including a bite mark and a laceration. Distressed pilots requested medical personnel to meet Flight 938 upon its arrival at the gate at 11 p.m. in New York.

Upon landing, officers from the Port Authority Police Department took Blair into custody and arranged for her transport to a nearby medical facility for evaluation. Authorities further reported that Blair allegedly kicked a police officer in the head while in an ambulance and subsequently assaulted a hospital nurse, leading to additional state charges of assault alongside potential federal charges. A representative for the actress stated that Blair suffered a disorientation episode related to an underlying medical emergency and confirmed she was placed in stable condition. The FBI is currently investigating the in-flight incident alongside local law enforcement.
