Mingus Lucien Reedus, a 21-year-old aspiring model, was recently arrested for assault in New York City. On Friday, 24 September, he was taken into custody for punching an unidentified woman of 24 years in the face while attending Manhattan's San Gennaro street festival. According to published reports, Mingus didn’t know the alleged victim and even claimed her to be drunk and said that her friends were the aggressors.
Mingus spoke about the ordeal claiming that he threw his arms out for his defense from the woman and accidentally hit her. He said, “It was instinct. I was reacting to them swarming me and was afraid for the safety of my group. We didn’t think anything of it, but these five girls followed us for two blocks, throwing food at us and yelling. We told them to leave us alone, but they kept following, threatening to hurt my girlfriend and her friend."
The model added, “These girls swarmed me, one pulling my hair from the back, another throwing water in my face. Ten seconds later the police got involved when they saw one of the girls hurt and refused to listen to the context.” He explained, “My intention for that day was to mind my own business and play fair games.”
Reedus reportedly got a desk appearance ticket for misdemeanor assault and was released.
