ABC News White House Correspondent Tara Palmeri revealed that Alec Baldwin once told her "I hope you choke to death" when she was on assignment for the New York Post, according to a Friday afternoon tweet.
Palmeri's tweet came after the actor's arrest and charge for misdemeanor assault in a fight over a parking spot.
Alec Baldwin also told me "I hope you choke to death" when I was on assignment, staking out his house," Palmeri wrote of an incident that she said happened in 2013 when she was a reporter for the Post.
Palmeri alleged that Baldwin also grabbed her arm. The Post said the reporter played an audio recording of the actor's threat to the New York Police Department.
Baldwin's talent agency CAA did not immediately reply to a request for comment from Baldwin from The Hill.
On Friday, an NYPD spokeswoman said that a dispute over a parking spot allegedly resulted in a man being punched after getting into the space Baldwin wanted.
“Upon arrival, officers observed a 49-years-old male conscious and alert with injury to his left jaw,” the NYPD said in a statement.
The man was taken to a local hospital and is listed in stable condition, officials said.
The actor and talk show host, whose credits include "Glenarry Glen Ross" and is most recently known for his Emmy-winning portrayal of President Trump on "Saturday Night Live," has had run-ins with reporters and photographers before.
In Nov. 2013, Baldwin called a photographer a gay slur that was caught on camera on a New York City street. The incident led to the cancellation of his MSNBC program, "Up Late" a short time later. The program had lasted less than two months.
Baldwin is currently hosting "The Alec Baldwin Show" on ABC, which has been seen low ratings since launching earlier this year.
As much as I detest AB, if a reporter was staked out at his house...

Alec Baldwin is a habitual offender and should be jailed for years with subsequent probation requiring anger management training while on probation.
And according to most progressive views he should be banned from owning guns, knives, or being within 500 feet of a school.
I heard Alec Baldwin punched some guy out over a parking spot.
Ahhh. Must be nice to be a tolerant liberal.
Oh, and pretending to be a President he mocks for incivility and crudity.
He will keep his talk show I bet. Any conservative would be fired and never heard of again on tv.
It's widely known that this paragon of leftist virtue has a NYC pistol permit.
