"Normally, I would not comment on something as egregiously misstated as today's story."
Hot-headed thespian Alec Baldwin has been charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment following his arrest Friday afternoon after he allegedly punched a man in New York City's ritzy West Village neighborhood, law enforcement sources tell Fox News. Law enforcement responded to a 911 call for an alleged assault around 1:30 pm EST, sources told Fox News, in which a 49-year-old male was treated for an injury to his left jaw. The individual was conscious and alert and transported to Lenox Hospital.Assault charges are pending, police say. A police spokesperson did not know if the victim was seriously injured in the incident.
"I realise that it has become a sport to tag people w as many negative charges and defaming allegations as possible for the purposes of clickbait entertainment. Fortunately, no matter how reverberating the echos, it doesn't make the statements true."
Baldwin, who has appeared in such films as "Working Girl," "The Departed" and "Glengarry Glen Ross," more recently has made news for his frequent scathing impersonations of President Donald Trump on NBC's "Saturday Night Live." Baldwin is a recurring presence on “Saturday Night Live.” His ham-fisted impression of President Donald Trump has earned him a Best Supporting Actor Emmy as well as the ire of members of the Trump family. "I just can't live in New York anymore," Baldwin said in the article. "Everything I hated about L.A. I'm beginning to crave. L.A. is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal. I used to hate that. But New York has changed."
