“Creed III” actor Jonathan Majors was arrested in Manhattan Saturday for allegedly choking his girlfriend in a domestic dispute, cops said.

The woman, who had minor injuries to her head and neck, told police that she was assaulted. She was taken to an area hospital in stable condition, cops said.
Majors was taken into custody without incident and charged with strangulation, assault and harassment, according to the actor, who was a presenter at the 2023 Oscars two weeks ago, has emerged as a major star in recent films such as “Creed III” and the latest “Ant Man.”
He is no longer in police custody, cops confirmed.
The Emmy-nominated actor and his girlfriend had reportedly got into an argument while taking a taxi home from a bar in Brooklyn, TMZ reported.
The dispute started after Majors’ girlfriend saw another woman texting him and confronted Majors. The actor reportedly got upset, grabbed her hand and slapped her, sources told the outlet.
