Actor Jonathan Majors was arrested and charged with assault, strangulation and harassment on Saturday, police said.

Police said they responded to a call to an apartment in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood late Saturday morning over a domestic dispute between a 33-year-old male and a 30-year-old female. The woman told police she was assaulted.

“Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident. The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition,” a New York City Police Department spokesperson said in a statement to NPR.

Carrie Gordon, a representative for Majors, told NPR: “He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”

Majors has been gaining lots of attention this year, with parts in three movies so far in 2023: Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Creed III and Magazine Dreams.

He spoke to NPR in February in a wide-ranging conversation about his career.
