Alleged assault leads to Actor Jonathan Majors’ arrest in New York

LAmerican actor Jonathan Majors, a rising star in Hollywood, was arrested in Manhattan on suspicion of assaulting a 30-year-old woman, New York police said on Sunday. Police said they responded to a call to emergency services on Saturday morning and that after a “preliminary investigation” they determined that “a 33-year-old man had been involved in an argument servant with a 30-year-old woman,” according to a statement.

The woman, who told police she was “assaulted” and whose relationship to the actor has not been clarified, was taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries to her head and neck, and is in a “stable condition”, according to the same source.

“Clear His Name”

The actor’s agent, Carrie Gordon, assured in a press release published by the daily Los Angeles Times, that the actor had “done nothing wrong”. She said she hopes she can “clear his name” quickly, while the actor’s attorney, Priya Chaudhry, quoted by local media, said they were “gathering and going quickly to present to the district attorney evidence in the hope that all charges against him will be withdrawn”.
