NEW YORK — Rising film star Jonathan Majors on Sunday denied charges he choked and assaulted a woman during a domestic disturbance, saying through his lawyer that the woman has already recanted the allegations.
Majors, 33, who recently starred in “Creed III” and played the villain “Kang the Conqueror” in the latest Marvel movie, was arrested Saturday morning on charges of misdemeanor assault, attempted assault and aggravated harassment.
He called 911 from his penthouse apartment near W. 22nd Street and Eighth Street because his live-in girlfriend was causing problems, police sources said. When police arrived, they noticed she was injured, and she told them he hit her face, grabbed her hand and put his hand to her throat, the sources said.
