Authorities stated Saturday that the actor Jonathan Majors was detained in New York on counts of strangling, assault, and harassment.
Majors, the star of the recently released “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania,” was involved in a domestic altercation with a 30-year-old woman, according to New York City police. About 11 a.m., police responded to a 911 call inside an apartment in Manhattan’s Chelsea area.
“The victim informed police she was assaulted,” a spokesperson for the NYPD said in a statement. “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.”
As of Saturday night, he was no longer in police custody, an NYPD spokeswoman confirmed to The Associated Press.
Majors’ representative denied any misconduct on his behalf.
“He has done nothing wrong,” the representative said in an email to the AP on Saturday. “We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”
Majors is one of Hollywood’s newest emerging stars. After her breakthrough performance in “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” in 2019, Majors has been in “Da 5 Bloods,” “The Harder They Fall,” and last year’s “Devotion.” He also appears in “Magazine Dreams,” a recent Sundance Film Festival entry that Searchlight Pictures will release in December.
