Actor Jonathan Majors has been arraigned on a revised domestic violence charge in which a woman says the Marvel star twisted her arm, struck her head and shoved her into a vehicle.

Majors' face was beamed Tuesday onto a flat-screen monitor in front of the judge’s bench in Manhattan’s domestic violence courtroom. The room was crowded with reporters straining to catch a glimpse of the celebrity while around them non-famous New Yorkers waited for their cases to be called.

Majors must also continue to abide by a protection order barring any contact with his accuser, Pauley said. The woman, who was not named in court papers, was treated at a hospital for minor injuries to her head and neck, police said.
