Actor Jonathan Majors was arrested on Saturday in New York on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment.
The star of Creed III and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania was taken into custody after being involved in a “domestic dispute” with a 30-year-old woman, police said.
The woman had minor injuries to her head and neck and was taken to hospital, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department (NYPD) said in a statement.
“The victim informed police she was assaulted,” they said.
“Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident.”
Police were called to a Manhattan apartment about 11am on Saturday.
Majors was no longer in police custody as of Saturday night, the NYPD spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press.
