WATCH: Alec Baldwin Alleged “Punch” Victim Reveals He Met With Prosecutors

VIDEO

(ABC)

Marcus Santos, the New York Daily News photographer who had a run-in with Alec Baldwin on Tuesday, appeared on “Good Morning America” on Thursday, and it was revealed that he spoke to detectives and prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office for two hours.

With his attorney sitting next to him, Santos said — contrary to Baldwin’s claims — that the “30 Rock” star “threw a punch.”

The photographer said he moved back to soften the blow, which Santos claims hit him on the chin.

Santos’ lawyer said his client met with prosectors in the Manhattan D.A.’s office because “he wants justice,” and he wants “Baldwin to be held accountable,” for what they feel should be a charge of “assault.”

The Daily News staffer said he’s a “news photographer,” and doesn’t ordinarily photograph celebrities, but had been called off one assignment and asked to shoot Baldwin.

When questioned about what he would say to the actor, Santos replied, “I have nothing to say to him… I’m just feeling so embarrassed for what he did to me.”

He explained, “I like to take picture[s], my picture[s] be on the front page — not me on the front page.”

“I don’t want to be a part of the news,” added Santos.

What do you think of Santos’ comments?

    the guy said he’s getting headaches and joint pain lol. Yeah right! 2 days after being pushed. He said he “i don’t want to be part of the news” yet he’s on a tv show. Clearly he wants a pay out. Just admit that he pushed you and asked for compensation for that. There’s no way he punched him.

    I saw this interview this morning. I’m just not buying what this photographer is saying. These paps STALK celebrities. They set up car wrecks and heckle them — saying horrible things about their loved ones – to get a reaction. Then they photograph it, file charges, and then sue the celebrity for pain and suffering. It’s the worst kind of scam and they do behind the 1st Amendment. I kept expecting the interviewer to ask, “Would a large settlement make you feel better?”

    The Paps all suck…..they should be arrested for doing all the awful things they do to celebrities and their young children….Shame on them.

    Just amazing how many celebs you have living in New York. Yet Alec Baldwin seems to always find problems with people whether its on the streets or on a plane or even talking to his own daughter. When you a hateful mean man bad things seem to follow you, your whole life. And Alec’s attitude and behavior seem to be bigger problem then someone loser taking his picture on the street. A terrible man who deserves all the crap he gets.

    It is not just Alec there are several celebrites that are complaining about the pazz in both NY and CA. Alec has a temper and they know how to push his buttons. This guy is not believeable at all he is looking for a pay out. I think charges should be charged against him for stalking. This guy claims to take pictures for the news just he was following Alec. I call it BS!

    he’s loving his 15 min….

    I am not one to defend Baldwin by any means, but this guy is an idiot and frankly even if he did punch this photographer, which I don’t believe and the photo CLEARLY shows he didn’t, then this guy really deserved it!

    Oh? Oh, my!?!?! You don’t like having YOUR picture taken? YOUR privacy invaded, Mr. Papparazzi-Cockroach? Really? Shoe’s on the other foot now. How does it feel? Sorry, Sucker… what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Good luck with that “pain and suffering” lawsuit by the way. Baldwin’s going to counter sue you and end up owing you AND your cameras.

    There’s a ton of celebrities who are dogged constantly and fed up, both in LA and NYC.

    Year before last, in NYC, Julia Roberts was trying to walk down the street and they mobbed her, surrounding her. She kept telling them to be careful, be careful, but they kept going, walking backwards, flashing cameras in her face. Two of them, running backwards, ran over a woman and her baby, in a baby carriage, dumped the baby onto the ground and stepped on it. Roberts was beside herself, needless to say. The baby was bruised and scraped, but, fortunately, no permanent injuries. Just one example.

    People like Baldwin and Sean Penn are easy marks for these people because they are known to have a hair trigger, but they will try to get reactions from people. That’s the part you don’t see on THEIR film. They call names, bring up old scandals, insult the girlfriend, call the kids names, throw stuff. It’s disgusting.

    And it’s dangerous to everyone in the vicinity of these vermin. I’ve seen them run over the top of innocent bystanders in the airport, knocking down people, kids, the elderly, luggage. It’s like the worst kind of soccer mob madness and will scare the bejesus out of an adult, if you see it. Imagine what that does to a little kid who’s parents are celebrities – being in the middle of that insanity.

    Disgusting. The laws need to be changed to prevent this kind of crap. Just because someone is in the public eye shouldn’t mean you can treat them this way. There have to be boundaries.

    Celebrities behaving badly, haven’t we had enough of those? It seems like bust up’s and DUI’s are bigger crowd pullers then some of the good work that other celebrities do. Think Bono and raising awareness about poverty in Africa, George Clooney and Darfur or Angelina Jolie and her work with refugees. DeVyne Stevens work with the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America is another great example of a powerful pairing aimed at doing good. DeVyne supports the organisations One Community One Cause, an initiative targeted at raising awareness and attracting fund for research into treatments. The disease afflicts 1 in every 500 African-American births yet few people know about it, but hopefully that will all change soon thanks to the support of celebrities like recording mogul DeVyne. I would be great to see some posts about celebrities behaving well and giving back to the community!

    I’m sure that there are a lot of horrible photographers and paparazzi, and that they do things that are out of line at the very least, but remember the look on Baldwin’s face when he was spraying foam on the window of a vehicle in the infamous bringing newborn Ireland home from the hospital incident? He’s a brat. If you’re going to court fame, you can’t be surprised when the paparazzi show up when you’re bringing home your newborn from the hospital or getting your marriage license, or any other time, for that matter. Also, he should shut up with his opinions about everything. His mother raised him to believe he was a genius and he thinks that his life should be wonderful and special, he’s a bully, and the world and many in it have had to put up with enough from him for too long. He’s far less smart than he thinks he is, and he’s gotten away with too much too many times for too long.
