Actor Jonathan Majors was arrested Saturday morning in New York and charged with strangulation, harassment and assault, police said.
New York City police said officers responded to a 911 call shortly after 11:00 a.m. for an alleged domestic dispute at an apartment in the city’s Chelsea neighborhood.
A 30-year-old woman told police she had been assaulted. Officers placed Majors, 33, into custody without incident, the NYPD said.
The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition, according to police.
In a statement to ABC News, a spokesperson for Majors denied any wrongdoing by the actor.
“He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up,” the spokesperson said.
Majors was nominated for an Emmy in 2021 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role in HBO’s “Lovecraft Country.” He most recently appeared in “Creed III.”
