NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actor Alec Baldwin, most recently famous for his impersonations of U.S. 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 detective Sophia Mason said.

 

Baldwin was arrested and charged with misdemeanour assault and harassment, police said. He was met by dozens of photographers and camera crews on his release from a New York police station on Friday.

 

Representatives for Baldwin said the actor had no comment.

 

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.

 

Told by White House reporters on Friday of his arrest, Trump replied, "I wish him luck."

 

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.

Just for your information, it was reported on the US National News.

Baldwin was just acting out a Trump scenario.

 

Not really. Trump would never in a million years have the courage to punch someone. He is a bully. Bullies usually do not engage in actual fights. Trump would go down in an instant, and would be wailing on the sidewalk for an hour, from a soft slap to the face. My guess is he has never been in an actual physical confrontation. He uses his lawyers to wage his battles, and steals from hard working American contractors, who had the temerity to believe in him, and then got the shaft, many of whom lost their businesses. Trump did not lose a wink of sleep over it. He was involved in 3,600 lawsuits at the time he took office, as the deflector in chief. He has earned billions using this gangster method, pioneered by Alexander the not so great, and followed up by Al Capone, and Meyer Lansky.

 

Baldwin is obviously a troubled man. He is successful, is worth $65 million, and still cannot seem to find satisfaction in life. Punching someone over a parking space? Now, that is really weak and pathetic.

Just desserts for Baldwin. He is an arrogant entitled liberal that has anger management issues and this is far from the first time he has landed on the wrong side of the law due to his temper and intolerance. Seems like scumbag to me. Gam-sa-nong-gam
