Mingus Reedus, the son of The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus and supermodel Helena Christensen, is facing serious legal trouble after a violent alleged assault in Manhattan. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the alleged victim has been granted court-ordered protection, keeping Mingus away from her.
Allegations Detail Brutal Attack
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the woman told police that Mingus allegedly:
- Used both hands to squeeze her neck, applying dangerous pressure
- Struck her right leg with a closed fist
- Forcefully threw her to the ground, causing bruising, redness, and “substantial” pain
The complaint paints a disturbing picture of the incident, which reportedly took place at a Manhattan apartment.
Arrest and Court Appearance
Mingus was arrested Saturday after police responded to a call reporting an assault in progress. He appeared later that evening in Manhattan Criminal Court, facing multiple charges including:
- 3rd degree assault
- Criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation
- Aggravated harassment in the 2nd degree
- Harassment in the 2nd degree
He pleaded not guilty to all charges, with his attorney stressing his client’s innocence until proven otherwise.
Relationship Background Adds Context
Reports indicate the alleged victim is Mingus’ girlfriend, and the two had been in a five-month relationship before the alleged incident. According to Mingus’ lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, Mingus was the one who called law enforcement after the woman reportedly took sleeping pills in a suicide attempt.
Chaudhry told TMZ:
“The prosecutor charging her client with misdemeanors or less … speaks volumes. Mingus is presumed innocent and has pled not guilty. As the facts emerge, his innocence will become clear.”
No-Contact Order in Place
As part of the ongoing legal process, the court has issued strict protection measures against Mingus, ensuring he cannot contact or approach the woman while the case moves forward.
Legal experts note that such orders are standard in assault cases, especially when allegations involve physical harm or potential risk of further violence.
