Based on Manhattan District Attorney’s office, the trial for assault and harassment charges brought against Marvel actor Jonathan Majors has been postponed until September 6.
Majors is accused of striking a woman
In a report from CNN, Majors was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday to begin the trial. What delayed the trial wasn’t immediately clear.
Majors is charged with slapping a woman about the face with an open hand, causing significant discomfort and a laceration behind her ear, according to the complaint that CNN was able to get.
It further states that he placed his palm on her neck, causing severe discomfort and bruising.
