The world of celebrity was rocked this weekend as Mingus Reedus, the son of Hollywood A-lister Norman Reedus and supermodel Helena Christensen, found himself on the wrong side of the law.
The 24-year-old was arrested in New York City in the early hours of Sunday morning and charged with assault following a physical altercation, according to law enforcement sources.
Details of the Incident
The incident reportedly took place in the bustling Lower East Side of Manhattan, a known hotspot for nightlife. Police were called to the scene at approximately 3:30 AM to respond to a dispute that had turned physical.
Mingus was taken into custody without further incident and processed at a local precinct. The specific circumstances leading to the altercation and the condition of the other individual involved remain unclear at this time.
A Famous Family
Mingus is the only child of the former couple, who were one of the most glamorous pairs of the late 1990s and early 2000s. His father, Norman Reedus, is a global icon best known for his long-running role as Daryl Dixon in the hit television series The Walking Dead and its spin-off.
His mother, Helena Christensen, is a Danish supermodel who rose to fame in the 1990s as a Victoria's Secret Angel and has since forged a successful career as a photographer and entrepreneur.
The couple, who split amicably in 2003, have consistently co-parented their son, who has largely stayed out of the limelight despite his famous pedigree.
What Happens Next?
Mingus was reportedly released from custody after being charged. The judicial process for such charges in New York can vary, often depending on the severity of the alleged assault and whether the accused has any prior record.
As of now, representatives for both Norman Reedus and Helena Christensen have declined to comment on the situation. The news has sent ripples through their fan communities, with many expressing surprise and concern for the young man.
This story is developing, and further details are expected to emerge as the case progresses through the New York City court system.
