Marvel star Jonathan Majors has been arrested in New York City for allegedly harassing and assaulting a woman after they got into an argument, according to New York police.

Police were called to a Chelsea apartment at 11 in the morning, where they determined that Majors had been involved in a “domestic dispute” with a 30-year-old woman.

The woman told the officers that she had been assaulted, and was immediately taken to a nearby hospital to treat minor injuries to her neck and head.

Police said that Majors was taken into custody “without incident,” but has since been released.

A representative for Majors said, “He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”

Majors recently starred in Antman and the Wasp: Quantamania, where he played the multi-dimensional villain Kang. He was widely anticipated as the next “Big Bad” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having appeared as the same character in the Loki show on Disney+.

He was also rumored to appear in Loki’s second season, which drops in 2023.
