In the complaint, Majors claimed the “drunk and hysterical” woman caused him pain and bleeding after the alleged assault, according to Insider, which obtained a copy of the report and a sworn affidavit.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office declined PEOPLE’s request for comment Tuesday, while NYPD confirmed that its investigation into the incident is ongoing. Majors' attorney Priya Chaudhry did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
According to Insider, police checked “yes” on the incident report form when they asked Majors to answer “yes” or “no” to the following questions: “Is suspect capable of killing you or children?"; “Is suspect violently and constantly jealous of you?"; and “Has the physical violence increased in frequency or severity over the past 6 months?”
