Majors allegedly engaged in a domestic dispute with his girlfriend on Friday. A TMZ insider claims the girlfriend tried sneaking a peek at Majors’ phone after seeing that he was texting another woman, which made the actor angry.

“The victim informed police she was assaulted,” stated an NYPD spokesperson in a statement to the public. The victim’s name has not been publicized, rather identified only as a 30-year-old woman.

“Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident.”

Police responded to the domestic dispute call made by the alleged victim this Saturday morning, around 11 am. According to The Associated Press, Majors was released from custody by Saturday night.

“The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition,” detailed the NYPD.
