Ireland Baldwin is reminding her fans to stay alert and aware after being attacked by a woman who was “desperate” for money and “high out of her mind,” Page Six reports.

The model, 24, took to Instagram to share the traumatic experience, including two photos of the large bruise on her right cheek after the altercation.

“Yesterday in the late afternoon, I was attacked by a woman who was high out of her mind on drugs and desperate for cash,” Baldwin began.

“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.”

It wasn’t immediately clear where the attack happened.

Baldwin — the daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger — said others nearby quickly came to her aid.

Police eventually arrested the culprit.

“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,” she continued.

“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.”

“I‘m so glad you are safe now. We love you,” wrote her stepmother Hilaria Baldwin.

“Omg this is terrifying. So glad you‘re okay,” commented comedian Nikki Glaser.

“Stay safe, hope you recover well,” chimed in actress Corinne Fox.
