Alec Baldwin has been arrested in New York for riding his bike the wrong way up Fifth Avenue.

Celebrities, wha’? Think they can get away with anything. Pah.

The 30 Rock star was picked up by police at Fifth Avenue and 16th Street, close to Union Square, and moved into the back of a squad car because he didn’t have any I.D. on him.

“Officers asked him to identify himself and he didn’t have ID,” a New York City Police Det. Marc Nell told Mashable.

“He then became a little belligerent with officers so they brought him back to the station house to be identified.”

Baldwin was handed two summonses – one was for riding his bike the wrong way, the second disorderly conduct, and he will have to show up in court for both.
