Mingus Lucien Reedus, the son of actor Norman Reedus and supermodel Helena Christensen, was taken into custody Saturday morning in Manhattan following an alleged assault.
Police say Reedus, 25, allegedly struck a woman in the leg, leaving visible redness, and then reportedly choked her and slammed her to the ground, per The Post.
A New York Police Department spokesperson confirmed the arrest but said he has not been formally charged.
Public records list Reedus as living in a luxury Chelsea apartment.
This is not his first legal issue.
In March 2022, he accepted a plea deal after allegedly punching a woman during the San Gennaro Festival in Little Italy in 2021.

In 2022, Mingus was sentenced to five private counseling sessions for punching a woman in the face – after pleading guilty to a downgraded charge of disorderly conduct.
He originally faced a misdemeanor assault charge but his attorney Isabelle Kirschner told DailyMail.com that she negotiated with the District Attorney to downgrade the charge to disorderly conduct, which is only a violation in New York City.
Mingus had claimed that the woman and her friends were inebriated and followed him for two blocks, pulling his hair, throwing water in his face and threatening his friends.
His attorney previously told DailyMail.com that the allegations against him were ‘baseless.’
‘I believe that based on the evidence, there is no credible evidence to support the charges,’ Kirschner said before Mingus pled guilty.
Mingus – who has followed in the footsteps of his mother, an original Victoria’s Secret angel, was taken into custody following the September incident.

His victim was hospitalized with a cut under her left eye, according to the NYPD.
After the incident, Mingus told the New York Daily News that the woman was one of a ‘girls under the influence and looking for a fight’ that ‘swarmed’ him, and that the police officers who arrested him ‘refused to listen to the context.’
Mingus said the women followed him and his friends for two blocks, ‘throwing food at [them] and yelling.’
‘We told them to leave us alone, but they kept following, threatening to hurt my girlfriend and her friend.’
When the group reached the corner of Mulberry and Grand Streets, Mingus told the Daily News, the women set upon him, with ‘one pulling my hair from the back, another throwing water in my face.’
He said he ‘threw his arm out’ to protect himself, accidentally hitting the woman.
‘It was instinct,’ he explained. ‘I was reacting to them swarming me and was afraid for the safety of my group.’
The incident came just one week after Mingus made his Vogue cover debut.
He was featured on the cover of the Vogue Hommes Paris’ fall-winter 2021-2022 issue alongside Parker Van Noord, son of the late male model Andre Van Noord.
Christensen and Reedus – who is best known for his role in The Walking Dead – began dating in 1998. Mingus was born the following year.
The high-profile couple split in 2003, before Reedus went on to date Diane Kruger.
Reedus and Kruger welcomed their own child together, a daughter, in 2018.
Mingus is Christensen’s only child.
