Overview

  • Reedus appeared by video in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday as the court discussed extending a full order of protection.
  • The order bars any contact with the complainant, including through third parties, and requires him to leave if he encounters her at their apartment building.
  • Police say officers responding to a Saturday 911 call in Chelsea found a 33-year-old woman with neck and leg injuries who was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
  • A criminal complaint alleges he applied pressure to the woman’s neck, struck her leg, and threw her to the ground; a witness described seeing him squeeze her neck with both hands.
  • He has pleaded not guilty, was released on his own recognizance with no bail or supervision, and is scheduled to return to court on October 8, as his attorney emphasizes his presumption of innocence.
