Mingus Reedus Arrested for Assault in Manhattan, Pleads Not Guilty

Mingus Reedus, 25-year-old son of actor Norman Reedus and supermodel Helena Christensen, was arrested in Manhattan on assault charges after an incident involving a 33-year-old woman who sustained minor injuries and was hospitalized in stable condition. He faces multiple charges including assault, harassment, and criminal obstruction of breathing, to which he has pleaded not guilty. His attorney emphasized his presumed innocence, noting that the charges were misdemeanors or less and that he was released on his own recognizance without bail or supervision. This is not Mingus's first legal issue; he was previously arrested in 2021 for assault during New York City's San Gennaro festival and accepted a plea deal for disorderly conduct in 2022. Court records and police reports detail the latest incident as occurring in a Chelsea apartment, with police responding to a 911 call early on a Saturday morning. Mingus has a modeling career and occasionally appears publicly with his father, including at Norman Reedus's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2022.
