Marvel star Jonathan Majors was supported in court by girlfriend Meagan Good as his long-awaited assault trial began in New York City.

Mr Majors is accused of attacking his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, inside a car in the city on 25 March as they rode to his apartment. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.

Ms Jabbari has accused him of slapping her, throwing her into the car after she exited it, twisting her arm and grabbing and injuring her hand. Prosecutors say that she was treated at a hospital for minor injuries to her head and neck, which included a cut to her ear.

His lawyer, Priya Chaudhry has labelled the alleged victim “a liar”, and in June Mr Majors filed a complaint against her alleging she attacked him and accused him of texting another woman.

Ms Jabbari was taken into custody by New York City Police Department officials in October. However, the Manhattan District Attorney ultimately decided not to pursue a case against the woman. Still, Judge Michael Gaffey ruled that Mr Majors’ attorneys could bring up the arrest during the trial.

Mr Majors faces up to one year in prison if found guilty.

Jury selection started at 10am EST on Thursday, with the panel being selected from 40 people sworn in on Wednesday.
