Alec Baldwin arrested after riding bike wrong way down NYC street

NEW YORK (KABC) -- New York City police say Alec Baldwin was arrested Tuesday morning for allegedly acting belligerently toward officers after he was stopped for riding his bike the wrong way down a Manhattan street.

Baldwin, 56, was stopped around 10:15 a.m. at 16th Street and Fifth Avenue. The officers asked Baldwin for his ID but he refused to show it. He allegedly became belligerent and was issued two summonses -- one for the bike offense and one for disorderly conduct.

The "30 Rock" actor was handcuffed and taken to a nearby precinct. After being released, Baldwin took to Twitter and posted the last name and badge number of the officer who arrested him.

"Meanwhile, photographers outside my home ONCE AGAIN terrified my daughter and nearly hit her with a camera. The police did nothing," Baldwin tweeted. "New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign."

Baldwin is scheduled to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court on the disorderly conduct summons July 24.

The Oscar- and Tony-nominated-actor is known for his incendiary temper, most notably exposed when a voice mail of him berating his now-teenage daughter came to light in 2007.

In 2011, he was kicked off a plane after refusing to stop playing a cellphone game, and he's gotten into confrontations with news photographers.
