Alec Baldwin lost his cool with a reporter while being questioned in the street about his involvement in the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.
The 63-year-old actor had told ABC in an intimate interview about the tragic incident that the gun had 'just gone off' and that he hadn't pulled the trigger.
Alec was outside Woody Allen's townhouse when he was confronted by New York Post journalist Jon Levine.
Amid shouted questions from Levine, Alec snapped and charged towards the reporter but did not make contact with him, while his wife Hilaria, 37, filmed the moment on her mobile phone.
Outside Woody Allen's Upper East Side home on Monday night, the encounter began with Hilaria ripping into the reporter as she appeared to film him as he approached the couple.
The reporter posted the encounter on Twitter as he asked Alec about the incident in which he claimed that the gun went off in his hand after he touched the cocked hammer and not the trigger.
Levine sidestepped Hilaria at the entranceway to Woody's home and asked Alec: "Mr. Baldwin, I have to ask you, what brings you to New York City?"
'Hilaria snapped back: "I asked you to leave."
The reporter persisted in asking who lived in the property as Alec was at the front door.
Hilaria told him: "Please go away."
As the tensions mounted in those seconds, Alec then turned away from the door, with umbrella in hand, and made to go towards the reporter in a threatening manner before deciding better of it.
Shouting at Levine, Alec said: "You're not allowed to photograph onto someone's private home."
Alec then repeated the statement as Hilaria grabbed him and held him back before the actor turned and went back to the door of the property.
The reporter hit back at the actor, saying: "This is not... this is public property."
Hilaria then hit out again saying: "Go away, stop it."
With this the door was opened by by a man in a white dress shirt and tie opened the door and Alec went inside while gesturing to his wife to join him.
The reporter persisted with his questions, asking from sidewalk: "Did you really not pull the trigger? Do you believe it went off without you pulling the trigger? Was it a malfunction?"
The questioning followed Alec's assertion that he didn't pull the trigger during an emotional interview last week.
He said about the tragic incident on the movie set in New Mexico on October 21, which saw Halyna killed and director Joel Souza injured: "I let go of the hammer, bang. The gun goes off. Everyone is horrified. They're shocked. It's loud.
"Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can't say who it is, but it's not me."
