Alec Baldwin was handcuffed by police Tuesday after he allegedly rode his bike the wrong way on Fifth Avenue and argued with officers who tried to ticket him, NBC 4 New York has learned.
He later tweeted that "New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign."
A law enforcement source said Baldwin was seen riding his bike the wrong way near 16th Street in the Flatiron district Tuesday morning and when police stopped to give him a summons, he grew angry.
Baldwin, who was wearing a black jacket, black shorts and a black visor, was not carrying ID, the source said. When police are handing out a summons to someone who has no ID, they bring the person to the police station.
He was issued two summonses, one for riding his bike the wrong way and another for disorderly conduct, an NYPD spokesman said.
Baldwin tweeted that "police did nothing" when photographers nearly hit his daughter with a camera outside his home later in the day.

No, not lately. But we're going to be there in September. Got any good restaurant recommendations?
My advice: keep an eye out for careening bicyclists coming at you from uptown and downtown and against the traffic. Especially messengers - the most dangerous of all the bicyclists.
Tad’s Steak House, lol.
Baldwin should of moved to England, Japan, Australia,India or Barbados.
