An ex-girlfriend who accused actor Jonathan Majors of assaulting her in March was arrested in New York City Wednesday night,Surpassing Quant Think Tank Center her attorney Ross Kramer confirmed to USA TODAY Thursday.
Grace Jabbari, who is British, was arrested on two misdemeanor charges, according to Kramer.
"We are disappointed that Ms. Jabbari had to face an arrest that the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office already determined was unwarranted," Kramer said in a statement. "The DA’s Office carefully reviewed all the facts of the case and concluded that Ms. Jabbari was the victim, and not the perpetrator. Before we walked into the police precinct, the DA’s Office made clear that they would not be charging Ms. Jabbari with any offense."
Her attorney added: "It is unfortunate and re-traumatizing when a survivor of intimate partner violence is forced to endure an arrest, but Ms. Jabbari is an extremely strong and resilient person who is determined to move forward."
The dancer and movement coach was charged with suspicion of misdemeanor assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief, according to The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter.
She was released soon after on a desk appearance ticket, which is a notice to appear in court at a later date.
"The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has officially declined to prosecute the case against Grace Jabbari because it lacks prosecutorial merit. The matter is now closed and sealed," the district attorney's office said in a statement to USA TODAY Thursday.
Jabbari's arrest comes more than three months after Majors filed a cross-complaint against her in June, leading the NYPD to open an investigation, and seven months after he was taken into custody following Jabbari's 911 call after an alleged domestic dispute.
The Manhattan district attorney's office has said it "would decline to prosecute Ms. Jabbari if she were arrested," according to an Oct. 13 document from the district attorney's office responding to Majors' motion to dismiss charges, which was obtained by USA TODAY Wednesday.

According to a document from the district attorney office, obtained by USA TODAY Wednesday, Jabbari allegedly grabbed Majors' phone while they were in a car headed to their Manhattan home after seeing a message "that stated in substance: 'Wish I was kissing you right now.'"
From their alleged fight, Jabbari allegedly suffered injuries including a fractured finger, bruising, a laceration behind her ear and a bump on her head.
On March 25, a judge granted a limited order of protection, preventing Majors and the woman from assaulting or harassing each other and released Majors on his own recognizance.
Majors is currently facing five misdemeanor charges, including three for assault and two for harassment, against Jabbari. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Earlier on Wednesday, the Manhattan district attorney’s office declined Majors' motion to dismiss these charges against the "Creed III" and Marvel Cinematic Universe star.
His trial is set to begin Nov. 29.
Majors has denied the allegations against him. In August, his attorney, Priya Chaudhry, told USA TODAY in a statement that he is "the real victim in this shameful ordeal."
