“Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident,” the statement said. “The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition.”
The “Lovecraft Country” star’s lawyer said Majors was “provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows” in a statement provided to Fox News Digital at the time.
“This evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode and, most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations. All the evidence proves that Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever. Unfortunately, this incident came about because this woman was having an emotional crisis, for which she was taken to a hospital yesterday.

“The NYPD is required to make an arrest in these situations, and this is the only reason Mr. Majors was arrested. We expect these charges to be dropped soon.”
