The hits just keep on coming from hot-headed actor Alec Baldwin.
A day after allegedly attacking a photographer, Baldwin shoved his way through a throng of reporters as he walked his bike back into his Manhattan building after a morning ride – which began on the sidewalk.
Baldwin, 54, brusquely shouldered into a female “Inside Edition” reporter and another reporter outside the East Village residence. He never stopped or even apologized.
On Tuesday, a photographer told cops that Baldwin punched him in the chin after he spotted Marcus Santos and another shutterbug outside the Worth Street office of the city’s marriage license bureau.
Baldwin had just visited that office with his fiancee Hilaria Thomas, a 28-year-old yoga instructor who he is expected to wed the weekend of June 30.
Authorities are now weighing whether to charge Baldwin for the altercation with Santos.
In an interview today, Baldwin denied that he attacked a photographer outside of the City Clerk’s Office in Manhattan yesterday in a new interview aired today.
Baldwin discussed the incident with Charlie Rose on his eponymous show and aired a portion of their conversation on “CBS This Morning.”
“They almost hit me with the camera,” Baldwin said.
“There was a person in front of me. The [photographer] lunged and almost hit me in the teeth with the camera, so I pushed him away.”
The “30 Rock” star was wearing a black band on his ring finger during the interview.
Baldwin, who was accompanied by his co-stars in the Woody Allen film “To Rome With Love,” which opens in limited release on Friday, said that he didn’t mind doing press to promote this film and other projects, but took issue with photographers snapping pictures of him out and about.
“We make appointments with the press as part of our contract with our employer,” Baldwin said. “When you walk out your door, you have another appointment [when photographers are waiting for you].”
Baldwin insisted he wouldn’t have attacked anyone outside of a courthouse.
“People think I’m decking reporters willy-nilly,” he said.
The outspoken actor, who tweeted about the incident after it occurred, told Rose he didn’t remember what he wrote when asked about it last night
