Trigger warning: This article contains mentions of assault.
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.
The actor was arrested on Saturday, March 25 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."
Police said they responded to a 911 call at an apartment in Chelsea where a 33-year-old male was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old female.
"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 the Creed III actor, however, told entertainment portal The Hollywood Reporter that he "has done nothing wrong."
"We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up," they added.
Majors 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.
He recently appeared as Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and is rumored to appear in the second season of Loki, which is expected to come out later this year. (ANI)
