Alec Baldwin was arrested Tuesday in New York City.

In Touch Weekly was seemingly the first to report police arrested Baldwin after riding his bike the wrong way down a city street.

And has mixed reports on the actor's attitude: "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."

The news quickly got Baldwin's name trending on Twitter.

TMZ is reporting similar details, though only that Baldwin was confrontational with police officers. The outlet says Baldwin got a ticket for disorderly conduct and ​riding the wrong way. He also didn't have ID on him.

The Wall Street Journal, too, says Baldwin was confrontational, citing a law enforcement official who says Baldwin's court date is set for July 24.

Of course, a dramatic altercation would be nothing new for Baldwin. He's earned quite the reputation over the years for yelling at and sometimes getting physical with paparazzi.

But this month he's been tweeting about his scuffles with paparazzi.

According to reports, Baldwin was biking alone at the time of the incident and was just out for exercise.
