In the audio, which was first reported by TMZ, the pilot could be heard asking air traffic control (ATC) to ask police and medical personnel to reach the flight gate to help with injuries sustained during the violent altercation on a flight from Los Angeles to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Actor Selma Blair allegedly ‘bashed her head’ during a violent incident aboard a Delta flight that left a flight attendant and a passenger with a ‘bloody nose’ and ‘bite marks’, according to 911 dispatch audio.
Blair was arrested after she was accused of injuring two people on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. She was also accused of kicking a police officer taking her to the hospital and kicking a nurse once she got there.
Blair was arrested after she was accused of injuring two people on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. She was also accused of kicking a police officer taking her to the hospital and kicking a nurse once she got there. And she faces separate federal charges based on what happened on the flight, which her representatives say resulted from a severe medical emergency.
The 54-year-old actor pleaded not guilty on Monday night to two counts of assault for state charges involving the officer and the nurse.
A police officer taking her to Jamaica Hospital Medical Centre said in charging documents that while she was securing Blair to a stretcher, Blair pulled a leg from the straps and kicked her repeatedly around the face, neck and chest, causing serious pain and substantial swelling. Later, a nurse moving Blair said the actor kicked her in the chest, causing substantial pain. Details of what happened aboard the aircraft weren’t immediately disclosed by the airline, police or the FBI, which was investigating, but Delta said in a statement it “has zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behaviour, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first.”
