Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky and her father were arrested on assault charges Friday following a brawl involving the family of America's Top Model contestant Bianca Golden in a Caribbean airport, police tell PEOPLE.

The 19-year-old actress was released on bail, while her father, Carl Blonsky, remained in jail. Golden was also arrested and released on bail. Golden's mother Elaine was reportedly hospitalized with serious injuries.

Sgt. Calvin Chase from the Providenciales Police Department in the Turks and Caicos Islands said the fight erupted in the departure lounge of the Providenciales International Airport after everyone had gone through security.

"Things got out of hand in an argument over seats in the departure lounge, and several people were involved in an altercation," Chase tells PEOPLE. "There were some injuries involved."

Nikki Blonsky was charged with assault with actual bodily harm, which carries a maximum sentence of two years, and common assault, also known as threat of assault, with a 90-day maximum term.

Her father Carl was charged with grevious bodily harm, meaning the victim was injured so severely they needed immediate medical care. The charge carries a five-year maximum sentence. Carl will remain in jail for nine days until a hearing is set on his bail, says Chase.

Bianca Golden was charged with assault with actual bodily harm.

A rep for Blonsky declined to comment.

This isn't good for her image, since she's a relatively new "star". "Hairspray" is the only movie she's made so far, isn't it? Geez, her father must be a real piece of work, to get involved in some fight-and apparently he must approve of his daughter doing the same.

Wow, this is a bit surprising since so far she has shown a sweet and wholesome image.

A fight over seats?? Yeah, that's a reasonable thing to get mad about.

Hairspray is her only big movie, she did a TV movie last year and she had a limited release movie come out last month. I was really surprised when I heard this, she's always seemed really sweet.

^Nikki appeared in court wearing a neck brace. She must have been messed up pretty bad 0_0
