Actress Selma Blair faces charges for kicking nurse and officer after plane incident

US actress Selma Blair has been charged with two additional assault counts over allegedly kicking an officer and a nurse after being removed from a flight.

Blair was arrested late Sunday in New York after she allegedly attacked flight attendants on a Delta plane travelling from Los Angeles to New York. The FBI issued her a federal summons accusing her of assault on board.

While appearing in court over the additional charges, the Legally Blonde star's attorney asked the judge to consider the actress's "body of work", and called Blair the "gold standard." The judge said she should not "get special treatment".
