ALEC Baldwin has been caught lashing out at an anti-Israel protester after being mocked over the fatal shooting on the set of his new film Rust.
Baldwin, 66, was recorded knocking the phone out of a woman’s hand while she filmed him in a coffee shop and insulted the Hollywood star by asking “why did you kill that lady?”
Before labeling him a “damn criminal,” Baldwin and an employee try to get her out of the store.
The actor fired a bullet from a gun on set thinking it was not loaded, but accidentally hit Rust’s director of photography, Halyna Hutchins.
Hutchins was tragically killed in the shooting.
Baldwin’s criminal trial will begin July 10, after he was charged with involuntary manslaughter in January.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
In the shocking images shared online, Baldwin can be seen ordering coffee in a New York shop when the passionate woman approaches him.
Baldwin, clearly dissatisfied, ignores her cries at first and asks her to “please say free Palestine once.”
She implores him to denounce Israel’s involvement in the war since it took revenge on Hamas terrorists for their evil October 7 attack on thousands of innocent civilians.
The woman promises to leave Baldwin alone if he says “fuck Israel” or “fuck Zionism” while filming.
But as Baldwin refuses to answer, she can be heard saying, “Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and they didn’t put you in jail.”
“No jail, Alec. No jail, Alec.”
He goes on to say “you’re imprisoning innocent people, Alec,” in reference to Rust gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison earlier this year.
She was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, the same charge Baldwin faces.
Baldwin reportedly asks the cafeteria employee to call the police on the protester as the couple tries usher the lady outside the store.
The actor then walks out the door as the woman follows him and shouts again about the current war in Gaza.
“Just say free Palestine once, once,” she says, as Alec tries to get her to leave him alone.
The longer the confrontation goes on, the more furious Baldwin appears as he stares at the ground in thought for some time.
Before Baldwin seems fed up, he finally snaps.
He tells her, “Can you do me a quick favor?”
As he takes the phone out of the protester’s hand and the video ends abruptly.
Baldwin has felt the wrath of pro-Palestinian protesters before when he was caught in a heated shouting match with some of those who stormed the streets of New York City last December.
Footage shows Baldwin yelling at protesters after being caught in a rush of protesters while walking in Manhattan.
Police officers were then forced to form a protective ring around the star as he took shelter near a metal gate, while members of the public could be heard cursing at Baldwin.
