Alec Baldwin arrested for punching man, who went to hospital

Alec Baldwin, 60, was arrested this afternoon (Nov. 2) in NYC.

The 30 Rock star was enraged when another driver took a parking spot he was about to use on East 10th Street between University Place and Broadway.

According to TMZ, Baldwin had a friend holding the spot for him, but a man swooped in and parked. A heated argument followed and Baldwin punched the man in the face.

The 49-year-old victim was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, while Baldwin was arrested, handcuffed and taken to a holding cell at the NYPD’s 6th Precinct in Greenwich Village. A source told TMZ that the actor yelled, “F*** off” during the fight.

This is just the latest in a series of angry outbursts for the actor. In the past, he’s had public confrontations with photographers and was arrested in 2014 after two police officers stopped him for bicycling the wrong way down a street.

Although he was belligerent, screaming, “Don’t you know my taxes pay your salary?” and “Can’t you get that around your f***ing head,” he was only charged with “disorderly conduct and going the wrong way on a one-way street.” He also complained to the police officers’ supervisor, asking how old they were because, “They don’t even know who I am.” ~Marriska Fernandes
