Actor Jonathan Majors was arrested on Saturday morning in New York City on charges of assault, strangulation, and harassment after a woman accused him of attacking her. According to law enforcement sources, the alleged victim, who has not been identified, claimed that Majors attacked her during a dispute. The exact nature of their relationship is unclear.

Majors’ team has denied the allegations, calling them “BS.” The actor, known for his roles in “Lovecraft Country” and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco,” was taken into custody after the alleged victim reported visible injuries, including a laceration behind her ear and marks on her face. She was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition.

According to sources, the incident occurred during a dispute in a taxi returning from a bar in Brooklyn. The alleged victim claims that Majors got angry after she confronted him about another woman texting him and tried to grab his phone, leading to the alleged attack.

Majors was taken to jail but has since been released from custody. The case is currently under investigation by law enforcement
