Jonathan Majors has been arrested on charges of assault, strangulation and harassment.
New York City police responded to a call yesterday (March 25) at 11am local time. “A preliminary investigation determined that a 33-year-old male was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old female,” police said in a statement.
“The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident.”
The woman was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries to her head and neck, and is in stable condition, reports the LA Times.
“He has done nothing wrong,” said Carrie Gordon, a representative for Majors. “We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”
Majors has since been released from police custody while his relationship with the victim was described as “domestic.”
