The magazine reported that "according to an insider, 'he was riding his bike the wrong way and didn’t have ID on him.'” Baldwin confirmed he was arrested via Twitter.

The magazine also gave two eyewitness reports, one of which said that Baldwin "went ballistic on the cops, screaming at them," and another that said he got in the car peacefully when it was all over.

Baldwin took to Twitter to denounce the police, the press, and the city itself.

New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign.
