US actor Alec Baldwin has been charged with assault and harassment, after allegedly punching a man in the face in a row over a parking space.
The '30 Rock' sitcom star was taken into custody shortly before 2.00pm local time (6.00pm GMT) after the dispute outside his home in Manhattan's Greenwich Village.
He was released two hours later.
New York police detective Sophia Mason said the 60-year-old actor "assaulted someone for a parking spot that they were both going for".
The star claimed he had a family member holding the spot for him as he tried to park his Cadillac Escalade when a man driving a Saab pulled up and took it, according to police.
Officers said the men were arguing and pushed each other before Baldwin turned violent.
Police said the unnamed man (49) was taken to hospital with jaw pain and is in a stable condition, while Baldwin was in custody awaiting charges.
A witness told celebrity news site TMZ that Baldwin, who lives in the area, swore at the man during the row.
Baldwin is well known for his impersonation of US President Donald Trump on the US TV sketch show 'Saturday Night Live'.
Asked about the actor's arrest, Mr Trump said: "I wish him luck."
Baldwin also appeared in the Hollywood films 'Beetlejuice', 'The Departed' and 'Glengarry Glen Ross'.
The actor has a history of losing his temper.
He denied punching a newspaper photographer in 2012 who was trying to take photos of him with his then-fiancee Hilaria Thomas.
Baldwin and Thomas married in 2012 and have four children.
