Norman Reedus’ Son Mingus Arrested Manhattan Assault, Pleads Not Guilty

Mingus Reedus, son of actor Norman Reedus and model Helena Christensen, was arrested on August 23, 2025, in Manhattan for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, who sustained minor injuries. He faces charges including reckless physical injury, aggravated harassment, and second-degree harassment, to which he pleaded not guilty. Mingus was released on his own recognizance without bail or supervision, a decision his attorney Priya Chaudhry emphasized as significant and indicative of the misdemeanors charged. After his arrest, Mingus made a concerning statement to reporters suggesting suicidal thoughts, prompting worries about his well-being. This is Mingus's second assault-related legal issue; in 2021, he accepted a plea deal for disorderly conduct after a similar incident. Neither Norman Reedus nor Helena Christensen have publicly commented on the situation, and Mingus's next court date is scheduled for October 8, 2025.
