She said, "Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and got no jail time? No jail time Alec? You are putting innocent people in jail, Alec Baldwin. Free Palestine, Alec, just one time, and I will leave you. I will leave you alone, I swear."

The woman then uploaded the video on her X account and wrote, "White devil Alec Baldwin attacked me. While I was trying to get coffeee (sic)."

Baldwin has been a vocal supporter of Israel in the past, and this is not the first time he has been targeted by protesters. In December 2021, a similar incident occurred during a pro-Palestine rally in New York City.

Neither Baldwin nor his representatives have commented on the latest incident.
