Blair, 54, was arraigned Monday on two counts of second-degree assault stemming from the alleged attacks on a Port Authority police officer and a nurse after he arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport from Los Angeles. Police had responded to a call about a "physically abusive passenger" on Delta Flight 938.

The "Hellboy" actor was detained at JFK and taken to the hospital for evaluation after the in-flight incident. Two crew members were injured and one was taken to hospital, officials said.

Police Officer Maria Suarez was assisting Blair on a stretcher at about 11:50 p.m. ET when Blair allegedly "removed his leg from the stretcher strap and repeatedly kicked Officer Suarez in the face, neck and chest," according to an affidavit.

Suarez suffered swelling to his jaw and "significant pain in his face, neck and chest" and was later treated at a Queens-area hospital. Blair is also accused of kicking a nurse in the chest at Queen's Hospital.

Blair's attorney claimed during her Monday court appearance in Queens that the actress missed several doses of a "strong" drug, the New York Post reported.

The publication noted that his attorney, Shawn, "this was not an intentional attack," Barnes said in court. Ms. Blair missed several doses of a powerful drug that controls severe neurological symptoms.

"After long hours and long hours of work in the days leading up to this flight, Ms Blair boarded this flight."

He added: "Furthermore, at one point during the flight there was an incident where Ms Blair actually fell and hit her head. "These factors, along with the altitude, led to a state of extreme confusion and disorientation."

Law enforcement officials confirmed that Blair has also been subpoenaed separately by the FBI and is currently facing an assault charge.
