POLICE attended a Manhattan polling station after left-leaning Oscar-winner Tim Robbins had a screaming fit, on finding his name was not on the electoral register.

Robbins, an actor and director, reportedly started screaming when a poll worker asked him to move over to make more room for other voters, according to The New York Post.

Police were called in and Robbins ended up going to a Manhattan courthouse to get proof he is a registered voter. He then returned to the YMCA on 14th Street to cast a ballot.

"He was real upset and obnoxious," a polling clerk at the YMCA told The Post after the incident.

The clerk quoted Robbins as saying, "I'm a voter and I have a right to be here."
