The ‘Hellboy’ star was arrested on Sunday for allegedly punching one flight attendant and biting another on a flight from LAX in Los Angeles to JFK in New York.
According to 911 dispatch audio, the pilot described Blair as a “disrespectful” passenger and requested that law enforcement and medical personnel be waiting at the gate when the plane landed.
He said the two flight attendants involved in the “incident” required medical care, citing “a bleeding nose as well as some bite marks” and adding that they needed “a few things taken care of.”
Separate audio captured Blair screaming as the plane took off and stopped.
“Delta has zero tolerance for unruly or illegal behavior, as the safety of our customers and crew always comes first,” a Delta Airlines spokesperson told Page Six in part in a statement.
Meanwhile, Blair’s rep blamed the incident on a “medical emergency,” telling Page Six that the “Hellboy” actress “received immediate medical attention” upon landing.
While being transported to the hospital, Blair allegedly kicked a Port Authority police officer several times in the head, and he was later accused of assaulting a nurse at the hospital, who later filed charges.
Blair pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree assault Monday night and was released on bail. If found guilty, he could be jailed for two to seven years.

She also said that she had fallen and hit her head before the flight and that she had been working “extensive” and “excessive” hours on the set.

“He has a good heart. He just hasn’t got it yet.” [sic] The help he needs. Pray he does,” Kiernan wrote. “He’s a human being like the rest of us.”
