NEW YORK (AP) ? A New York City newspaper photographer has accused groom-to-be Alec Baldwin of assaulting him outside a marriage license bureau.
But the "30 Rock" star says he was only protecting himself.
The NYPD confirmed that Daily News photographer Marcus Santos had filed a complaint against Baldwin. The department says Santos claims he was punched while snapping photos of Baldwin and his fiancee, Hilaria Thomas.
A statement on Tuesday from Baldwin's publicist accused the photographer of being the aggressor. It says the actor defended himself after the photographer assaulted him with a camera, and that no punches were thrown.
Photos on the newspaper's website (http://nydn.us/M3XinW) appear to show Baldwin shoving the photographer.
An NYPD spokeswoman says no charges have been filed and that police are investigating.
