Actress Selma Blair was taken into custody after being physically abusive on a Delta Airlines flight traveling from Los Angeles to New York City on Sunday, according to a spokesperson for the Port Authority.
The Cruel Intentions actress was identified as the suspect, who was taken to a hospital for evaluation after the flight landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Two flight attendants reported injuries. One was taken to a hospital, the spokesperson said. They did not provide any additional details about what happened onboard the aircraft but noted that the FBI was investigating the incident.
The FBI confirmed it was responsible for investigating all incidents aboard aircrafts and had been contacted regarding a “potential assault aboard a flight that arrived into JFK.”
The FBI said, “As per long-standing DOJ policy, we do not comment on ongoing investigations.” The Federal Aviation Administration also said it would investigate a “passenger disturbance” on the flight.
A representative for Selma confirmed to NBC News that she was taken to the hospital following the flight.
“Selma experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct,” the representative said. “Upon landing, she received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.”
Her representative did not describe the medical emergency, but Blair revealed in 2018 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The autoimmune disorder attacks health cells in the central nervous system, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Delta has “zero tolerance” for unlawful behavior.
Ahead of the airport incident, Selma posted the following caption to her Instagram, “From LA to New Mexico to La to nyc to LA. Scout and I have been busy. I miss you,” alongside a video of her recent travels.
