This arrest is about a different mishap entirely in 2021 when, at the San Gennaro festival in Little Italy, it was reported that after a short verbal altercation on Mulberry and Baxter Streets, Mingus struck a 24-year-old woman. The victim dropped with a small cut under her left eye and was taken to Downtown Hospital by ambulance. In March 2022, Reedus accepted a plea bargain with a reduced charge for disorderly conduct.
Mingus, in an interview with The New York Daily News regarding the 2021 incident, said he only reacted instinctively to protect his companions’ safety and himself as the woman and her friends had allegedly stalked and harassed them. “It was instinct,” he claimed, adding that in fear for the safety of his group he “threw his arm out.” He further went on to say that the group had been followed for two blocks and had been subjected to thrown food and threats and that the police arrived after the confrontation escalated and witnessed one of the women injured without getting his side of the story.
