The 30-year-old woman is reportedly Major’s girlfriend, per TMZ’s law enforcement sources.

“We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.”
The evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where the incident happened, testimony from the driver and others who witnessed the episode, and two written statements from the woman, recanting her allegations.
Chaudhry added: “All the evidence proves that Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever.”
Majors was arrested after police were called to a Chelsea apartment Saturday night.
The woman was taken to the hospital with “minor injuries to her head and neck,” cops say.
