Law enforcement was called to JFK at approximately 11 p.m. to address a "physically abusive passenger" aboard Delta Airlines flight 938, which had taxied to the gate after flying in from Los Angeles. Blair, 54, was identified as the passenger in question by law enforcement sources.

Two flight attendants were injured during the incident. One of them was evaluated at a hospital, according to law enforcement sources. One flight attendant sustained bite marks, the sources said.
