Alec Baldwin opened up about his arrest over a parking spat last year in New York and said that he thought the other driver was actually “going to run” over his wife over.
“What happened, I had this argument with this guy. But what’s interesting is that in New York…there’s cameras everywhere. So they said I punched this guy, which was not true—the cameras show from every angle that no one punched anybody,” the 60-year-old actor explained Monday on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” about the parking altercation.

“I mean, I did I have an argument with the guy? Yeah, I thought he was going to run my wife over with his car when he was stealing my parking spot. But now he and I are best friends,” the actor joked. The host and audience laughed.
