Actor Alec Baldwin allegedly called a black Post photographer a racial epithet, a "crackhead" and a "drug dealer" during a confrontation on an East Village street yesterday morning, prompting police to intervene.
Baldwin had first been approached by a Post reporter while walking his dogs outside his East 10th Street pad at around 10:50 a.m. He was asked for comment on a lawsuit against his wife, Hilaria, involving her work as a yoga instructor.
The 30 Rock star grabbed the reporter, Tara Palmeri, by her arm and told her, I want you to choke to death, Palmeri told police, for whom she played an audiotape of the conversation.
He then called G.N. Miller a decorated retired detective with the NYPDs Organized Crime Control Bureau and a staff photographer for The Post a coon, a drug dealer, Millers police statement said.

Baldwin also walked up to random people including a dad pushing his child in a stroller and told them Miller was an ex-con and drug dealer, Miller said.
He was saying some serious racist stuff, Miller said. He said some choice words about my mother, and he was telling people in the street that Im a drug dealer.
He could have said a lot of other stuff. But he used all of the stereotypes associated with black people.
