Alec Baldwin has been arrested.
The volatile actor was handcuffed by police officers in New York on Tuesday and taken away in a cop car, according to In Touch with one witness telling the publication Baldwin 'went ballistic on the cops, screaming at them' during the incident which led to his arrest.
TMZ reports he was stopped by police for cycling his bike the wrong way down Fifth Avenue and one of the reasons he was arrested was because he did not have any identification on him.
By the time he was cuffed he was 'calm and quiet', another onlooker told In Touch.
A source with the New York Police Department told the publication: 'The incident just happened, we are waiting for details at this time.'
He was alone at the time of the incident and is reported to have been cycling for exercise.
In the pictures, obtained by In Touch, he can be seen wearing shorts, a jacket and a visor as he is led into the car by a female police officer.
Another officer stands nearby.
He appears calm and collected in the pictures as he is being led away while his bike can be seen propped up against the car.
Alec has faced controversy in the past few years for repeatedly being accused of using homophobic slurs.

The cops would taser a guy in a wheelchair. Why didn’t they just taser this scum?
That’s exactly what I was thinking. In this case I wouldn’t mind them tazering the bastard.
That’s one of the people on the planet I’d like to massage with a 2x4.
Wait a minute! I didn’t know Alec was homophobic. Maybe there’s has a saving grace after all. On second thought ... lose the key.
Nothing funnier than a Useful Idiot suddenly becoming useless...
NYC is a sanctuary city, is it not? I thought the police were prohibited from asking for id. You know - so the illegals will feel...American.
Isn’t this racism to ask for id from AB?
Amen to that! Can I help? We could teach that boy some manners real quick.
Looks like Alec Baldwin has maybe spent all of his Liberal Exemption Chits.
I wonder if it is now Alec Baldwin open season in NYC.
I would suggest he move to city that is a little more tolerant. Dallas? Worked for Beck. Palm Beach? Worked for Rush.
Hey, why wouldn’t Blommberg’s Finest cuff him? Baldwin riding the wrong way is far more dangerous to himself than a 32-ounce soft drink.
No kidding. But, don’t ask illegals for ID when they’re working, going to school or voting here. That’s raciss.
This guy NEVER gets it!
“..what do they need ID for?”
Too bad he wasn’t voting.
With no ID how do they know it's the same person they have a summons for?
I agree. But such is the nature of police states.
Somewhere in Baldwin’s head is a Libertarian screaming to be free.
I am disgusted by the number of so-called “constitutional conservatives” who are cheering for unlawful police brutality against ANY U.S. citizen. You are no better than the leftists that cheered on Lois Lerner.
You’re giving BB brain too much credit.
But how can you ticket someone who has no ID, and could thus offer just about any fictitious name and false address?
