Model Ireland Baldwin says she was punched in the face by a "desperate" mugger who wanted to steal her cash.

The 24-year-old daughter of actor Alec Baldwin and his ex-wife Kim Basinger shared shocking pictures of her bruised face as she reveled the terrifying attack to her fans.

The images show her face covered in purple bruises.

She wrote on Instagram: "Yesterday in the late afternoon, I was attacked by a woman who was high out of her mind on drugs and desperate for cash.

"She decked me in my face in a parking lot and took my belongings and jumped in a getaway car while her husband took off. All was sorted with the police and she was arrested."

Ireland said that luckily there were witnesses, who quickly rushed to her side to help her.

She added: "Luckily I had witnesses and got assisted really quickly. The cops told me this is happening frequently because people are desperate for money right now due to Coronavirus and people being out of work.

"There is a lot of theft and muggings going down. Posting this to remind everyone to be really careful and watch your surroundings. These are really difficult times and we need to look out for one another."

Her fans and friends were very concerned about her.

One told her: "Omg stay safe!!!! Sending you love!!!"

While another posted: "Holy s**t... glad you’re okay though. So sorry that happened to you."
