Baldwin charged over NY parking spot fight

ALEC BALDWIN, MOST recently famous for his impersonations of US President Donald Trump, was charged on Friday after a fight over a New York parking spot, police said.

The 30 Rock sitcom actor, 60, “assaulted someone for a parking spot that they were both going for,” New York Police Department said. Baldwin was charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment then released. Baldwin has enjoyed a new wave of popularity in the last two years for his scathing impressions of Trump on TV sketch series Saturday Night Live, winning an Emmy.

Baldwin has a history of losing his temper. In 2014, he was given a summons for disorderly conduct after an argument with police who stopped him riding his bike down a one-way street in New York. In 2011, he was thrown off a plane for refusing to stop playing the game ‘Words with Friends’ before take-off.

Baldwin, who currently hosts the weekly television talk show The Alec Baldwin Show, in 2012 denied punching a photographer who was trying to take photos of him with his then-fiancee, yoga teacher Hilaria Thomas. Baldwin and Thomas married in 2012 and have four children.
