2023 Invision

Jonathan Majors has been arrested over accusations of assault, strangulation, and harassment involving a woman in a New York apartment.

A representative for the actor has denied any wrongdoing.

New York City police responded to an emergency call at an apartment in Chelsea at 11.14am. According to a police statement, they determined that the actor was involved in a “domestic dispute” with a 30-year-old woman.

The woman told police that she had been assaulted and was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries to her head and neck.

The man, who police identified as Majors, was “placed into custody without incident”. His relationship to the woman is described only as “domestic”, as per The Los Angeles Times.

Majors, 33, is no longer in police custody.

In a statement given to the Los Angeles Times, a representative for Majors, Carrie Gordon, said: “He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”

The Independent has contacted a representative of Majors for further comment.
