Mingus Lucien Reedus , 25, son of actor Norman Reedus and supermodel Helena Christensen , was arrested in Manhattan on Saturday morning over an alleged assault, the New York Post reported.
Reedus allegedly punched a 33-year-old woman to wake her up before choking her and slamming her to the ground inside a Chelsea apartment, police sources told The Post.
The incident began when Reedus himself dialed 911 around 8:40 am (local time), reporting that a woman at the West 16th Street apartment was taking pills and threatening suicide. Responding officers were told by the woman that Reedus had attacked her. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, while Reedus was taken into custody.
The 25-year-old, wearing green shorts, a black t-shirt and handcuffs, was photographed being led out by officers around 9:25 am. He has been charged with assault in the third degree and criminal obstruction of breathing, NYPD said.
Reedus was then escorted out of the 10th Precinct into a police vehicle.
Asked by reporters why he had called police, he replied, “I didn’t.” Reedus later called it “a misunderstanding.” A woman identifying herself as his girlfriend also described the episode as “a big misunderstanding.”
This is not Reedus’ first brush with the law. In 2022, he accepted a plea deal over a 2021 incident at the San Gennaro Festival in Little Italy, where he allegedly punched a woman in the face.
