He has been charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment, NYPD confirmed to The U.S. Sun.

New York police responded to calls of a domestic fight in a Chelsea apartment late Saturday morning.

A 30-year-old woman told responding officers that she was attacked, and was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to her head and neck, police said.

Meanwhile, Major was taken into custody without incident.

He is now no longer in custody and looks forward to proving his innocence, sources reportedly told TMZ.

"He's done nothing wrong," a representative of Majors told the outlet.

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

The Santa Barbara, California, native is most known for starring in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as the villain "Kang the Conqueror."

In Majors acting debut, he portrayed gay activist Ken Jones in ABC's miniseries When We Rise, while still earning an MFA in acting from Yale.

A few years later, he gained prominence after starring in The Last Black Man in San Francisco. In the same year, he also appeared in films Captive State, Gully, and Jungleland.

The rising star was present at the Oscars this year, and just announced that he was set to play former basketball player Dennis Rodman in the movie 48 Hours in Las Vegas.

He has one daughter who lives in Atlanta with her anonymous mother.
