Norman Reedus’s son, Mingus, faces charges after assault arrest

Mingus Reedus, who is also the son of former supermodel Helena Christensen, was arrested and charged with assault after an incident with a 33-year-old woman.

Mingus Reedus, the son of The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus and former supermodel Helena Christensen, made his first appearance in court on Tuesday after he was arrested and charged with assault on Aug. 23.

Police apprehended Reedus while responding to an assault in progress, according to the New York City Police Department.

Officers found a 33-year-old woman with “minor injuries” to her neck and leg, and she was transported to the hospital in “stable” condition, according to USA Today.

Reedus, 25, was initially charged with one count of assault and one count of criminal obstruction of breathing. He was later charged with three additional counts: assault – recklessly causing physical injury, aggravated harassment and harassment. He has pleaded not guilty and an investigation into the incident is ongoing.

During his virtual court appearance, Reedus spoke with Judge Michelle Weber about the terms of extending a temporary order of protection that was issued at his arraignment.

Reedus is restricted from contacting the women he is accused of assaulting, according to the New York Daily News, and he is expected to appear in court again on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

The judge told Reedus he must leave immediately if he sees the woman at the apartment building where they had both lived.

His lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, was present during Tuesday’s court session and told People that Reedus’s “innocence will become clear” as “the facts emerge.”
