Norman Reedus' Son Mingus Arrested Again for Assault in NYC

Mingus Lucien Reedus, son of actor Norman Reedus and model Helena Christensen, was arrested in Manhattan for allegedly assaulting a 33-year-old woman, marking his second assault-related incident since 2021. He faces multiple charges including third-degree assault, criminal obstruction of breathing, and aggravated harassment, to which he pleaded not guilty in court and is scheduled to appear again in August. The woman reportedly sustained minor injuries to her neck and leg, and a court order has been issued to protect her from Reedus. Mingus' attorney has described the charges as lacking substantial evidence and contended that previous incidents were misunderstandings, noting that Mingus pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in 2021 after an altercation where he claimed self-defense. Despite these legal troubles, Mingus has pursued a career in modeling and artistic interests encouraged by his mother, while his parents maintain a cordial co-parenting relationship. The recent arrest involved an alleged incident at his Chelsea residence, with conflicting accounts from Reedus and witnesses about the events leading to police involvement.
