The actor Jonathan Majors was arrested on Saturday in Manhattan and charged with strangulation, assault and harassment after what the police in New York described as a “domestic dispute.”
Mr. Majors, 33, was taken into custody without incident, the authorities said. The victim, described only as a 30-year-old woman, was taken to a hospital after suffering what the police said were minor injuries to her head and neck.
In a brief statement, Carrie Gordon, a representative for Mr. Majors, said he had “done nothing wrong.”
“We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up,” the statement said.
The New York Police Department said that officers responded to a 911 call from an apartment near West 22nd Street and Eighth Avenue in Chelsea just after 11 a.m. Investigators determined that the actor had become involved in a domestic dispute with a woman who told them that she had been assaulted.
The police on Saturday evening did not provide any additional information about the episode.
Mr. Majors is a rising star in Hollywood, who has delivered a string of performances that have marked him out as a potential Oscar contender. He co-stars in “Creed III,” which was released this month, and starred in “Magazine Dreams,” delivering a performance that garnered buzz at the Sundance Film Festival. He is also emerging as a major character in Disney’s Marvel franchise.
