Actor Selma Blair was taken into custody after a flight from Los Angeles to New York for being physically abusive and injuring two flight attendants, authorities said Monday.

Blair, 54, was taken into custody late Sunday night when the Delta Air Lines plane was parked at the gate at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in a statement.

There was no immediate response to a request for comment from the airline.
