ALEC Baldwin has been caught lashing out at an anti-Israel protester after being taunted over the fatal shooting on the set of his new film Rust.

Baldwin, 66, was recorded smacking the phone out of a woman's hand as she filmed him in a coffee shop and hurled abuse at the Hollywood star asking "why did you kill that lady".

Before the demonstrater labelled him a "f***ing criminal" as Baldwin and an employee tried to remove her from the shop.

The actor fired a bullet out of a gun on set thinking it wasn't loaded but accidentally hit Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.

Hutchins tragically died in the shooting.

Baldwin's criminal trial is set to begin on July 10, after he was indicted for involuntary manslaughter in January. 

He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

In the shocking footage shared online, Baldwin can be seen ordering coffee in a New York shop when he is approached by the passionate woman.

A clearly disgruntled Baldwin ignores her shouting at first as she asks him to "please say free Palestine one time".

She begs him to denounce Israel's involvement in the war since striking revenge on Hamas terrorists for their evil October 7 assault on thousands of innocent civilians.

The woman promises to leave Baldwin alone if he says "f*** Israel" or "f*** Zionism" as she films.

But as Baldwin refuses to answer, she can then be heard announcing: "Why did you kill that lady? You kill that lady and got no jail time.

"No jail time Alec. No jail time Alec."

She continues saying "you're putting innocent people in jail Alec" - referencing the Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed who was sentenced to 18 months in prison earlier this year.

She was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter - the same indictment Baldwin faces.

Baldwin reportedly asks the coffee shop employee to call the police on the protester as the pair try to usher the lady out of the store.

The actor then heads out the door as the woman follows him and returns to shouting about the current war in Gaza.

"Just say free Palestine one time, one time," she says, as Alec tries to get her to leave him alone.

The longer the confrontation goes on the more irate Baldwin seems to become as he stares at the floor thinking for some time.

Before a fed up looking Baldwin eventually snaps.

He says to her: “Can you do me one quick favour?”

As he smacks the phone out of the protester’s hand and the video abruptly ends.

Baldwin has felt the wrath of pro-Palestine protesters before as he was caught up in a heated shouting match with some of those storming the streets of New York City last December.

Footage shows Baldwin yelling at demonstrators after he got caught up in floods of protesters while walking through Manhattan.

Cops were then forced to form a protective ring around the star as he sheltered near a metal door, as members of the public could be heard swearing towards Baldwin.
