Love, 38, was “verbally abusive” to cabin crew during a Virgin Atlantic flight from Los Angeles, a spokesman for the airline said.

TV channel Sky News showed pictures of Love being escorted by two officers from the plane to a police van parked on the runway. She smiled sheepishly at the camera and covered her face with her hand before getting into the back of the van.

“She was verbally abusive toward our cabin crew and disruptive,” Virgin Atlantic’s director of corporate affairs Paul Moore said. The flight from Los Angeles landed at around 11 a.m. (6 a.m. EST).

London’s Metropolitan Police said a 38-year-old woman had been arrested for disruptive behavior and endangering an aircraft. She was being questioned by officers at Heathrow after reports of a passenger “being generally disruptive, using abusive language and refusing to sit down and put her belt on,” a spokesman said. Authorities did not give her name.

No one on the Boeing 747, which carried 201 passengers and 20 crew, was injured in the incident.

Love is the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994, and the lead singer with rock group Hole. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her part in the 1996 movie “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” in which she played the wife of the porn entrepreneur.

Love had been due to attend a fund-raising event at London’s Old Vic theater on Wednesday along with Elton John and Kevin Spacey.
