The actor who attended the Oscars and made an award presentation, a few weeks ago, was charged with three counts of attempted assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree after he was arrested.
Documents show that the victim told police that Majors allegedly "[struck] her about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear," as well as allegedly grabbed her hand and neck, "causing bruising and substantial pain."
The NYPD said that they received a 911 call from an apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea district, around 11:14 local time. They added, the woman suffered minor head and neck injuries and was taken to the hospital.
Mr Majors was briefly taken into custody.
A lawyer for the 33-year-old actor denied any misdemeanour, while stating that the actor was "completely innocent" and alleged the star was the victim of the altercation involving a woman known to him.
Priya Chaudhry said: "We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.
"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."
