Selma Blair's attorney reportedly said in court that his client did not intend to assault a police officer and a nurse .

Blair is facing both federal and state charges after she allegedly attacked two flight attendants while on a plane to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Upon arrival to New York, Blair, who was taken to a hospital, then allegedly kicked a police officer and a nurse, the Associated Press reported.

Per the AP, the New York Post and the New York Daily News , Blair appeared in Queens Criminal Court Monday night, where she pleaded not guilty to charges connected to the alleged assault of the nurse and police officer.

"This was not an intentional assault," Blair's attorney Shawn Barnes said in court, per the Post.

The Post and the Daily News both reported that Barnes claimed Blair had missed several doses of medication and that before she boarded the flight, she had endured a heavy work schedule.

"These factors, coupled with the altitude, resulted in a state of severe confusion and disorientation," Barnes said, according to the Daily News .
