Police in New York City say actor Alec Baldwin has been arrested for riding a bike the wrong way on the street and acting belligerently toward the arresting officers.

The 30 Rock star was taken into custody shortly after 10am on Tuesday.

Police said two officers noticed him riding his bicycle the wrong way on 16th Street near Fifth Avenue near Union Square Park.

They say the notoriously hot-headed actor was asked to show identification.

That’s when they say he acted belligerently toward the officers and was arrested.

He’s since been released.

A representative for Baldwin didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

Police say the 56-year-old Baldwin was issued a summons for riding a bike the wrong way and for disorderly conduct.
