Mingus said that the victim and her friends came after him and he “threw his arm out” to protect himself from the woman. He said that he accidentally hit her. He explained, “It was instinct and I was reacting to them swarming me and was afraid for the safety of my group.”

Then he continued, “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.”

Mingus also recalled, “Ten seconds later the police got involved. Police say one of the girls was hurt and refused to listen to the context. My intention for that day was to mind my own business and play fair games.”
