The Guardian reports Symonds, 31, was allegedly heard telling the Tory leadership candidate to “get off me” and “get out of my flat” .
She is then reportedly heard yelling Johnson had ruined a sofa with red wine adding: “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care for money or anything.”
The Tory politician can be heard refusing to leave the home after apparently telling Symonds “get off my f***ing laptop.”
The paper also reported that there was “banging and slapping” heard during the shocking incident.
The altercation came just hours after Johnson, 55, secured his place in the final round of voting for the succession to Theresa May as party leader.
He is now overwhelming favourite with the bookies to become the next PM.
Two police cars and a van arrived shortly after midnight but left when told those inside the flat were okay.

The neighbour is reported to have recorded the noisy altercation from inside their own flat out of concern for Symonds.
She is then reportedly heard saying Johnson had ruined a sofa with red wine: “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care for money or anything.”
The neighbour said: “There was a smashing sound of what sounded like plates. There was a couple of very loud screams that I’m certain were Carrie and she was shouting “get out” a lot.
The neighbour had knocked on the door but received no response, according to The Guardian.
They added: “I (was) hoping that someone would answer the door and say ‘We’re OK’. I knocked three times and no one came to the door.”
Metropolitan Police statement said: “At 00:24hrs on Friday, 21 June police responded to a call from a local resident in the SE5 area of Camberwell.
“The caller was concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour. Police attended and spoke to all occupants of the address, who were all safe and well.

“There were no offences or concerns apparent to the officers and there was no cause for police action.”
The MP was photographed leaving the flat at 11.10am today, before addressing Conservative councillors at a hustings event in London.
Johnson split with his wife Marina Wheeler last year and began a relationship with Symonds, who is former head of press for the Tory party.
She was part of his team when he publicly launched his high-profile drive to become the new Tory leader.
And has been credited with sharpening up his image ahead of the leadership race by encouraging him to shift some weight and get a smarter haircut.
The pair’s romance has long been rumoured but was confirmed beyond doubt when she appeared in public with him for the first time to support his leadership bid.
Rumours about the couple first circulated as news of Boris’s separation from his wife emerged last year.
Sources say that on Valentines Day last year, she was heard boasting to friends about spending the night with Boris in the Oxfordshire countryside.
In recent weeks the couple have been sharing the flat which is in a converted Victorian house.
A spokesman for Johnson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, however there are reports he may launch a legal bid to the stop the recording of the row being released.
