The English actor, 36, was arrested on October 7 at 2.30am in Los Angeles after getting into an argument that turned into a physical altercation with a woman, whose identity has not been revealed.

Cops were called to the apartment where they found the woman with visible marks on her body, reports TMZ. She did not need medical attention. 

Married Underwood was arrested for felony domestic battery and he was put in jail. He denies the allegations.

The actor was in a cell for 10 hours before being released, the outlet reported. 

Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is now deciding if possible criminal charges will be lodged against Underwood. 

According to TMZ, Underwood’s attorney has photographs, video recordings, and audio recordings that allegedly disprove the case made against him.

They met while filming The Following in 2013, where Underwood played twins Luke and Mark Gray and Curry played Emma Hill.

Underwood has co-starred alongside Alec Baldwin in the theater production of Equus, and also had roles in Homeland and Fear The Walking Dead – which is a prequel to AMC’s Walking Dead.
