Overview

  • Police say they responded around 8:40 a.m. Saturday to a Chelsea apartment and found a 33-year-old woman with minor neck and leg injuries, who was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
  • Court records show charges of third-degree assault, assault recklessly causing injury, criminal obstruction of breathing, aggravated harassment and second-degree harassment.
  • Reedus pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance, with no bail or supervision, and a protective order directs him to stay away from the woman.
  • Prosecutors say the complaint alleges he struck her leg, choked her with his hands and threw her to the floor, while the NYPD investigation continues.
  • His attorney says Reedus called 911 after the woman took pills and characterizes the incident as a misunderstanding; he previously took a 2022 plea to disorderly conduct in an unrelated 2021 case and is due back in court Tuesday.
