Jonathan Majors arrested in New York on suspicion of assault

Rising Hollywood star Jonathan Majors was detained in New York over allegations of assault, police said on Sunday.

Police responded to an emergency call in Manhattan late on Saturday night, determining in a preliminary investigation that there was a domestic dispute between a man, 33, and a 30-year-old woman.

"The victim informed police she was assaulted," police said in a statement.

The woman, whose relationship with the actor has not been clarified, was taken to a hospital with minor head and neck injuries in "stable condition".

Majors's representative Carrie Gordon, said in a statement published by the Los Angeles Times that the actor "has done nothing wrong."

"We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up."

Judicial authorities have not responded to AFP request for confirmation on whether the actor is still in custody.

Majors has appeared recently in several major films, including "Creed III", Marvel's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "Magazine Dreams," a film presented at the Sundance Film Festival.
