Alec Baldwin’s scuffle with a loudmouthed anti-Israel agitator at a New York City coffee shop spilled out onto the sidewalk, new photos obtained by The Post show.
An irate Baldwin, 66, was seen struggling with the woman out the front door and down the stoop of Maman, an upscale cafe on University Place in Greenwich Village, after she had accosted him inside on Monday and demanded he declare “Free Palestine” as she filmed him.
Footage of the encounter, first posted online by the woman herself, cut off after Baldwin took a swipe at her phone — and new photos appear to show him snatching the phone from her hand and using it to drive her out of the coffee shop.

The scene from outside Maman appeared to show the Emmy winner holding the woman’s phone out of her reach as she scrabbled up his arms after it.
“Alec, can you please say ‘Free Palestine’ one time?” she asked him several times, before promising to leave him alone if he’ll just say it once.
As he headed for the door shaking his head, she added ““F–k Israel, f–k Zionism.”
“Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and got no jail time,” she said at one point, referring to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed on the set of Baldwin’s movie “Rust” when a prop gun he was shooting wound up loaded with a live bullet.
They struggled down the stairs before the woman eventually got her hands on the device.
