BALDWIN DENIES PUNCHING MAN
NEW YORK Alec Baldwin is denying he punched anyone over a parking spot and says an assault allegation is being reported “for the purposes of clickbait entertainment.”
He was arrested Nov. 2, and charged with assault and harassment after allegedly hitting another man in the face during a dispute over a parking spot in New York City.
His publicist declined to comment after the arrest. But Baldwin 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.”
Baldwin was released from the local police precinct in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village neighbourhood after about two hours. He was ordered to appear in court Nov. 26.
