Jonathan Majors’ NYC assault trial delayed again, lawyer claims video of accuser dancing with alleged broken finger was ‘buried’

Jonathan Majors’ misdemeanor assault trial was delayed yet again Friday to allow prosecutors a chance to respond to the “Creed III” star’s claims the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office “buried” video of his accuser being twirled by her allegedly fractured finger at a dance club hours after the alleged attack.

Majors, 34, wearing a light tan polo, appeared virtually on a flat-screen monitor during a brief hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court, where a judge pushed back the start of his trial to at least Oct 25.

The appearance came days after Majors’ lawyers, Priya Chaudhry and Seth Zuckerman, accused prosecutors of burying evidence that is “inconvenient” to the DA’s case among a massive dump of information turned over to the defense team.

Majors is accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend during a fight in Chelsea in March, and the “Lovecraft Country” star has faced further abuse allegations after an explosive Rolling Stone exposé featured a dozen sources who outlined the actor’s alleged treatment of his exes — including one of his unnamed girlfriends suffering “really extreme abuse, physically and mentally.”

Majors has consistently maintained his innocence, with his attorneys arguing it was actually his ex, 30-year-old Grace Jabbari, who attacked him in the March 25 incident.

Police sources have told The Post that NYPD investigators had found there to be probable cause to arrest Jabbari, a professional dancer, after the episode. But prosecutors did not buy that version of events and arrested Majors instead, charging him with assault, harassment, and a strangulation rap that was later dropped.

“Rather than dismiss false charges against an innocent Black man, the People instead
have willfully withheld evidence of his innocence” and “buried evidence proving that his white
accuser is lying,” Majors’ lawyers wrote in a new court papers filed in the case Tuesday.

Majors’ team also released several videos from the night of the episode as exhibits with the court.

One of the videos, obtained by The Post, shows a woman wearing a similar outfit that Jabbari was wearing that night being twirled, “ballroom dance-style,” by her “supposedly broken finger” hours after the alleged attack at a nightclub called Loosie’s on the Bowery in lower Manhattan.

Majors’ lawyers say the woman in the video is Jabbari, and that the video helps Majors’ case because it shows Jabbari was still in good enough spirits after the alleged attack to go out with friends.

A second video posted to the public court docket shows Jabbari approaching a group of strangers on the sidewalk 8 minutes after the alleged attack, Majors’ lawyers say.

It’s difficult to make out every word spoken in the video — which was obtained from surveillance cameras at a nearby apartment building — but Jabbari is seen sobbing and distraught in the footage.

“We can’t leave this girl!” says one of the bystanders Jabbari is speaking with during the video, while offering to hail her a cab.

The video ends with Majors appearing in frame, before Jabbari and the three strangers follow him out of the shot.

Majors’ lawyers wrote Tuesday the video shows that Jabbari was “unharmed” after the alleged attack, and called for the case to be dismissed.

The attorneys have also claimed prosecutors failed to promptly turn over a cab driver’s statement from the night of the incident, in which the driver called Jabbari a “psycho girl” and alleged Jabbari was the aggressor in the encounter.

A spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office declined to comment Friday.

Prosecutors are due to address the arguments in legal filings by Oct. 6.
