Ireland Baldwin took to social media on Sunday (August 23rd) to thank her followers for their well-wishes after being the victim of a violent robbery.
The model and daughter of Alec Baldwin shared a photo of her bruised face to Instagram yesterday. She captioned the post:
"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. 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."

The 24-year-old then proceeded to post a short clip to her Instagram Stories, where she thanked her 621,000 followers for their support.
'Thank you to anyone who wrote me something kind," Ireland said.
While Ireland didn't confirm where the attack happened, she is currently based in Los Angeles.
Back in March, Ireland revealed that Kobe Bryant's sudden death changed her perspective on her relationship with her father, Alec Baldwin, whom she was once estranged from.
"[In light] of recent events that have happened within the last couple of weeks, like with Kobe, it's like, 'What's the f*cking point of arguing?'" she told Entertainment Tonight. "Like, there's no point. So let's all just get over it and hug that person you love."

"You never know what's going to happen to somebody and it all comes down to love," she continued to the publication. "Nothing else matters."
Ireland and Alec's relationship hit breaking point in 2007, after the now 61-year-old actor left his daughter (then 11-years-old) a voicemail calling her "rude, thoughtless, little pig". The leaked voicemail led to an estrangement that lasted many years.
