Hotheaded actor Alec Baldwin is speaking out following his arrest for allegedly punching a New Yorker who stole his parking spot in a expletive-filled outburst on Friday.

Hours after he was taken into the New York Police Department's 6th Precinct near his Greenwich Village home, he was released and returned to his penthouse. Then the 60-year-old actor took to Twitter to clear his name, claiming he never threw any punches.

'Normally, I would not comment on something as egregiously misstated as today’s story. However, the assertion that I punched anyone over a parking spot is false. I wanted to go on the record stating as much,' he wrote Friday evening.

'I realize that it has become a sport to tag people w as many negative charges and defaming allegations as possible for the purposes of click bait entertainment. Fortunately, no matter how reverberating the echos, it doesn’t make the statements true,' he added.

The incident unfolded at a parking spot on E. 10th St near the intersection with University Place, a block east of Fifth Avenue at 1.30pm.

Sources say one of Baldwin's family members was holding the spot when Wojciech Cieszkowski, 49, of Pearl River, New York, driving a black Saab station wagon pulled into the spot, according to Page Six.

Baldwin lives in a multi-million dollar penthouse on the same street with his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, and their four young children.

The two men got into an argument and when Cieszkowski headed to the meter to pay, Baldwin allegedly bolted up to him and punched him. Police said the two pushed each other before Baldwin got aggressive.

A witness told DailyMail.com that Baldwin yelled, 'F*** off' during the fight.

'He was minding his business and all of a sudden, [Baldwin] just punched him,' the witness said.

Baldwin was arrested and charged with assault in the third degree, which is a misdemeanor, and harassment, police told DailyMail.com.

Baldwin was stone faced as he left the precinct flanked by reporters and returned home Friday evening.

Hours after Baldwin's arrest an unidentified man was spotted driving the Saab away from the disputed parking spot. It's not clear if it was the victim or a man acting on his behalf.

President Donald Trump - who Baldwin frequently mocks and portrays on Saturday Night Live - weighed in on his arrest saying 'I wish him luck' at a campaign rally in West Virginia.

Donald Trump Jr tweeted about Baldwin's scuffle calling the actor a 'piece of garbage'.

According to a police spokesman, Baldwin may have not thrown any punches after all.

'They're out there saying he punched him in the face - I don't know if that's necessarily the case. The victim is just saying "he hit me, he hit me,"' the spokesman said to the New York Daily News.

Cieszkowski was taken to Lenox Health's Greenwich Village Emergency Room to be be checked out following the incident, complaining of physical pain in his jaw.

The police spokesman said he also had redness on his neck. He told cops that Baldwin hit him with his hand but wasn't sure if it was a punch of a slap.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Baldwin's team for a comment.

The Saab and Baldwin's car - a black Cadillac Escalade - were ticketed when their respective owners left for the hospital and police station, respectively.

Following the incident Baldwin's nanny moved his ticketed Cadillac SUV to a nearby parking garages, this one on the same street as his home.

After moving the vehicle, Baldwin's nanny replaced it with a different Cadillac, owned by the star.

Baldwin has a history of run-ins with law enforcement as well as outbursts, and assaults against photographers and reporters.

In one such instance, Baldwin was photographed assaulting a photographer in New York City on August 27, 2013.

Following that altercation, after the police arrived to the scene, both parties admitted to pushing and shoving each other, and both parties decided not to press charges and walked away.

Baldwin also seems to get particularly hot-tempered when people don't know who he is, as the eye witness on Friday said Cieszkowski appeared unaware that he was dealing with Baldwin.

Donald Trump, Jr. later tweeted on Friday, sharing a link to a story about Baldwin's arrest, with the comment, 'Is anyone shocked at this piece of garbage anymore?'

In May of 2014, Baldwin was arrested for disorderly conduct after cops didn't recognize him when he failed to produce a license after being stopped for cycling the wrong way on a one-way street in New York City.

In April of 2007, a voicemail left by Baldwin for his daughter was made public, where he can be heard calling her 'a rude, thoughtless little pig.'

And as early as October if 1995, Baldwin allegedly assaulted a photographer outside of his Los Angeles home for photographing then-wife Kim Basinger and their three-year-old daughter.

On Friday, President Trump said, 'I wish him luck,' after learning of Baldwin's arrest.

Donald Trump, Jr. later tweeted, sharing a link to a story about Baldwin's arrest.

'Is anyone shocked at this piece of garbage anymore?' Trump, Jr. wrote.

'As if the phone calls to his daughter weren’t bad enough. He’s a lib so he gets chance after chance to be decent but always fails!'

Responding to one Twitter user who said Baldwin 'is a tolerant, loving and civil progressive who punches people for parking spaces', Trump Jr wrote: 'Don’t forget the homophobic slurs. Other than all of those things and all of those chances he’s been given he seems wonderful.'

In a New York Magazine interview in 2014 Baldwin said he was ready to leave the city.

'I just can't live in New York anymore. Everything I hated about L.A. I'm beginning to crave. L.A. is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal. I used to hate that. But New York has changed,' he said.
