US actress Blair faces assault charges after Delta flight incident

Selma Blair, known for her role in the film 'Legally Blonde,' was charged after an incident involving Delta Air Lines flight personnel and emergency responders. According to court filings, two flight attendants reported injuries during the incident, though specific details about their condition were not immediately disclosed.

The actress allegedly bit a flight attendant during the flight before the aircraft landed. Following the landing, Blair is accused of kicking both a police officer and a nurse who responded to the scene.

The second-degree assault charges represent serious allegations that carry potential jail time and fines under New York state law. Blair's legal team has not yet issued a public statement regarding the charges.

The incident adds to a series of disruptions reported on commercial flights in recent years. Airlines have increasingly sought assistance from law enforcement in managing passenger conduct that poses safety risks to crew members and other travelers.

Further court proceedings are expected in the coming weeks as the case moves through the New York judicial system.
