The actor Jonathan Majors has been arrested in New York on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment.
New York City police said Majors, the star of Creed III and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, was involved in a domestic dispute on Saturday with a 30-year-old woman. Police responded at about 11am to a 911 call inside an apartment in the Chelsea neighbourhood in Manhattan.
“The victim informed police she was assaulted,” a police spokesperson said. “Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident. The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition.”
Majors was no longer in police custody as of Saturday night, police said.
A representative for Majors denied any wrongdoing by the actor. “He has done nothing wrong,” the representative said in an email. “We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”
Majors is one of the fastest-rising stars in Hollywood. After breaking through in 2019’s The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Majors has starred in Da 5 Bloods, The Harder They Fall and last year’s Devotion. He also stars in the recent Sundance film festival entry Magazine Dreams, which Searchlight Pictures is to release in December.
