More from The New York Post:
A source told Page Six, “Alec was riding his bicycle the wrong way on Fifth Avenue this morning and, when he was stopped by police, he didn’t have ID, so he was handcuffed and arrested. It is not known where he is now or if he is still in police custody.”
According to InTouch Weekly, which first broke the story:
An eyewitness tells the mag the 56-year-old was “calm and quiet” while he was cuffed and put in the back of the police car, though another onlooker said he “went ballistic on the cops, screaming at them” earlier during the altercation.
Everyone in #NYC "bikes against traffic" but screaming at an NYPD officer will get you arrested. @ABFAlecBaldwin

Alec Baldwin arrested for cycling the wrong way down 5th Avenue. What a glamorous way to become a criminal.

Haha. Alec Baldwin getting arrested. Big shock there.
— Eric Klim (@ejkoolkid13) May 13, 2014
We really need a website which tells us whether or not Alec Baldwin is in jail at the moment.

I knew that all of Alec Baldwin's aggression & anger was going to one day lead to him riding his bike on the wrong side of the street in NY.
— Max Weiss (@maxthegirl) May 13, 2014
I guess you could say Alec Baldwin got all huffy on his bike. #youarewelcome #comedygold

Of all the difficult things Alec Baldwin has achieved, becoming the most embarrassing Baldwin brother is the one I didn't see coming.

Doesn't NYPD have a "Drunk Baldwin" squad in place?
— SFK (@stephenkruiser) May 13, 2014
You’d think so, wouldn’t you? But not yet, apparently. Get on that, NYC!
The only thing that would have made Baldwin getting arrested better is if he was riding @ChrisLHayes bike.

I don't care which way Alec Baldwin rides his bike as long as it's not anywhere near me.
— Joseph Miner (@JosephMiner) May 13, 2014
Amen to that.
Just one word of advice to the perpetually pissed-off pedaler:
Free advice to Alec Baldwin: Use your one phone call to contact someone besides your daughter.
