Alec Baldwin arrested for punching man in New York

Actor and President Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin was arrested Friday for sucker-punching another man in a fight over a Greenwich Village parking spot, police said.

The “Hunt for Red October” star was trying to park a black Cadillac Escalade in a spot on E. 10th St. near Fifth Ave. when Wojciech Cieszkowski, 49, pulled into the space at about 1:30 p.m., sources with knowledge of the case said.

Baldwin’s publicist declined to comment after the arrest. But the actor later tweeted from the account of the Hilaria and Alec Baldwin Foundation that “the assertion that I punched anyone over a parking spot is false. I wanted to go on the record stating as much.”

In a second tweet, Baldwin complained that it’s become a “sport” to tag people with as many “negative charges and defaming allegations as possible for the purposes of clickbait entertainment.”

It read: “Fortunately, no matter how reverberating the echos, it doesn’t make the statements true.”

Baldwin, 60, told police a family member was holding the spot in front of his Manhattan home when a man driving a Saab station wagon pulled up and took it. The driver of the station wagon told police Baldwin hit him with his hand, but he wasn’t sure if it was a punch or a slap.
