Authorities say Creed III actor was involved in a domestic dispute in New York City

Creed III actor Jonathan Majors was arrested on Saturday on charges of strangulation, assault, and harassment, according to authorities, as The Associated Press reports.

On Saturday, around 11 a.m., police responded to a 911 call at an apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan. According to the authorities, the star — who also appeared in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania — was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman inside the apartment.

“The victim informed police she was assaulted,” a spokesperson for the NYPD said in a statement. “Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident. The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition.”

A rep for Majors tells Rolling Stone via email, “He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”

In 2019, Majors starred in his breakout role as Montgomery “Mont” Allen in The Last Black Man in San Francisco. It was followed by his portrayals in Da 5 Bloods, The Harder They Fall, and 2022’s The Devotion before his recent Creed III and Ant-Man appearances. In Creed III, he plays character Damian, a childhood friend of Michael B. Jordan’s character, Donnie Creed, in a “brothers”-turned-enemies face-off in the boxing ring.
