Hot-headed actor Alec Baldwin was arrested Friday after punching a man in the face in a dispute over a parking spot on the street, in New York City, police said.

The "30 Rock" star Baldwin was in custody after the incident in the East Village section of Manhattan.

Baldwin, who was released about two hours after his arrest, was charged with third-degree assault and harassment. He did not respond to reporters' questions about the incident.

Sources told WNBC-TV in New York that the dispute involving the 60-year-old Baldwin was over a parking spot. The station said Baldwin hopped out of his car when the other man swiped the spot and punched him.

Police told CNBC that officers responded to East 10th Street at about 2 p.m. after someone called 911 to report an assault.

Police said that when cops arrived they saw the 49-year-old victim conscious and alert, but with an injury to his left jaw.

The victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
