Actor Alec Baldwin was arrested Friday after allegedly punching someone in the West Village.
Law enforcement sources told News 4 the dispute was over a parking spot. He was still at an NYPD precinct being processed as of mid-afternoon.
Baldwin punched the victim once in the left side of the face, the sources said, after the victim purportedly took a parking spot Baldwin was waiting for on E. 10th Street.
The victim complained of pain and was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, the sources added.
Baldwin was given a citation to appear in court. This isn't his first contact with the law.
This is just the latest of Baldwin’s many public scuffles. The actor was previously arrested in 1995 for allegedly assaulting a photographer filming the homecoming of him and his then-wife Kim Basinger with their newborn daughter. And he was again arrested in 2014 for cycling the wrong way down a street—an incident that drew international headlines for his “belligerent” behavior towards the arresting officers. In 2013, he was caught on-camera shouting anti-gay slurs at a photographer outside his Manhattan apartment, which resulted in the suspension and eventual cancellation of his MSNBC show Up Late with Alec Baldwin.
