Baldwin arrested after bike dispute

Alec Baldwin has been arrested for riding a bike the wrong way on the street and acting belligerently towards arresting officers, police in New York said.

Police said the 30 Rock star was taken into custody after two officers noticed him riding his bicycle the wrong way on 16th Street, near Fifth Avenue, close to Union Square Park in Manhattan.

They said the actor was asked to show identification, which is when they say he acted belligerently toward the officers and was arrested. He has since been released.

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