Overview

• Police responded Saturday morning to an assault in progress near West 16th Street and 8th Avenue and observed a 33-year-old woman with neck and leg injuries before taking her to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
• Reedus, 25, faces five counts listed in Manhattan Criminal Court records: third-degree assault, assault recklessly causing injury, criminal obstruction of breathing, aggravated harassment and second-degree harassment.
• He appeared in court the same day, entered a not guilty plea to all counts, and was released on his own recognizance without bail or supervision.
• His attorney disputes the prosecutor’s account, saying Reedus is innocent and that he called police after the woman reportedly took sleeping pills, characterizing the event as a misunderstanding.
• An investigation by NYPD and prosecutors is ongoing, a return to court is set for Aug. 26, and coverage notes he previously accepted a 2022 plea to disorderly conduct in an unrelated 2021 incident.
