Marvel star Jonathan Majors arrested in New York for assaulting girlfriend, says ‘did nothing wrong’

New York: Actor Jonathan Majors was arrested after being accused of assaulting a woman during a domestic dispute, the New York Police Department said in a statement. Authorities reported that the actor allegedly tried to choke a 30-year-old woman in a domestic dispute.

A representative for the ‘Creed III’ actor said to The Hollywood Reporter, “He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.” The Marvel star was arrested around 11:15 p.m. Saturday morning inside of an apartment near West 22nd Street and 8th Avenue in Chelsea after police responded to a 911 call.

The woman, who had minor injuries to her head and neck, told police that she was assaulted. She was taken to an area hospital in stable condition. The actor was arrested on Saturday on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment, according to the spokesperson. He is no longer in police custody. His relationship with the woman was described only as “domestic.”

“The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident,” according to the statement, which identified the male as Majors. The woman sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was taken to a hospital, police said. A representative for Majors denied any wrongdoing by the actor. “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.”

The actor and his girlfriend had reportedly got into an argument while taking a taxi home from a bar in Brooklyn, TMZ reported. The dispute started after Majors’ girlfriend saw another woman texting him and confronted Majors. The actor reportedly got upset, grabbed her hand and slapped her, sources told the outlet.

The Emmy-nominated is no longer in police custody, cops confirmed. Majors is one of the more in-demand actors working today. He has long-term plans with Marvel Studios to play Kang, the villain that is central to the studio’s upcoming phase and will lead to him headlining ‘Avengers: The Kang Dynasty’.
