The victim of the alleged assault was only described as a 30-year-old woman, and she was taken to the hospital following the incident after suffering what the police said were minor injuries to her head and neck.
Now, documents obtained by People on Monday reveal that the 33-year-old allegedly struck the unnamed woman on her face "with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear."

The documents also note he grabbed her by the hands and neck, "causing bruising and substantial pain" as a result.
Shortly after Jonathan's arrest late Saturday night, the New York City Police Department told People in a statement that: "At approximately 1114 hours, police responded to a 911 call inside of an apartment located in the vicinity of West 22nd Street and 8th Avenue, within the confines of the 10th Precinct."

The NYPD added: "The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident."
Following his arrest, Jonathan's criminal defense lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, maintained his innocence on the actor's behalf, and also told People he is "completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows."
She further said: "We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently," and that: "This evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations."
