Jonathan Majors has been charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment, a day after he was arrested in New York City.
According to the complaint from the Manhattan district attorney’s office, the “Lovecraft Country” actor was arraigned Sunday. In the complaint, shared Monday with The Times, the alleged victim said Majors did “strike her about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear.” The woman was not identified.
Majors, 33, also allegedly grabbed the woman’s hand, “causing swelling, bruising, and substantial pain to her finger,” and “put his hand on her neck.”
Majors has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of third-degree assault and one misdemeanor count each of third-degree attempted assault, second-degree aggravated harassment and second-degree harassment.
A legal representative for Majors did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment Monday.
The “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Creed III” star was arrested on charges of assault, strangulation and harassment on Saturday.
According to police, Majors was taken into custody after officers responded to a 911 call from a New York City apartment building on Saturday morning. The NYPD said in a statement that Majors was involved in a “domestic dispute” with a 30-year-old woman who told police she was assaulted. She was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries to her head and neck.
Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, denied the allegations and said Sunday that the woman had recanted her allegations. Chaudhry said Majors is “completely innocent and provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows.”
The actor’s legal team said they are “quickly gathering and presenting evidence” to the district attorney — including video footage from “the vehicle where this episode took place” and testimony from witnesses — and expect the charges to be dropped soon.
The complaint says a judge released the actor on his own recognizance and granted a limited order of protection. Majors’ next court date is May 8.
