NEW YORK CITY — Alec Baldwin admitted to pushing a man who occupied his parking spot, according to allegations in court papers made public Monday.

The paperwork, called a Voluntary Disclosure Form or VDF, was released shortly after Baldwin’s arraignment in Manhattan criminal court on a misdemeanor attempted assault charge and a harassment violation related to the alleged November 2 spat, which took place at about 1:30 p.m.

Baldwin sported a plum polo shirt, dark pants, and black wayfarer-style glasses during his appearance and said nothing to reporters when asked questions on a wide variety of topics, from his response to the allegations to upcoming Saturday Night Live appearances.

According to the complaint against Baldwin, released shortly after his appearance, Baldwin’s accuser told police that he “observed the defendant push me and then strike me across the left side of my face with his closed right hand, resulting in pain to my face.”

Legal language in the complaint states that “the defendant, with intent to cause physical injury to another person, attempted to cause such injury to another person; the defendant, with intent to harass, annoy and alarm another, subjected that person to physical contact and attempted and threatened to do the same.”

But the VDF contains far more colorful information about the alleged row. — Agencies
