According to a statement from his publicist, actor Steve Buscemi was reportedly subjected to a random assault in Manhattan
Steve Buscemi, the renowned actor recognized for his roles in "Boardwalk Empire," "Fargo," and "Reservoir Dogs," reportedly fell victim to a random assault in New York City last week, as confirmed by his publicist on Sunday. The incident, described as a "random act of violence," occurred in Manhattan's Kips Bay neighborhood.
According to the New York Police Department, officers responded to a 911 call reporting the assault around 11:48 a.m. ET on May 8. Although Buscemi was not specifically named in the police release, it detailed an assault on a 66-year-old man who was punched in the face in front of 369 3rd Avenue.
The victim, later confirmed to be Buscemi, sustained bruising, swelling, and bleeding to his left eye and was promptly taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he received treatment and remained in stable condition. Assuring the public of Buscemi's well-being, his publicist expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, while also lamenting the unfortunate occurrence on the streets of New York.
The NYPD provided a description of the suspect as "wearing a dark-colored baseball-style cap, blue t-shirt, black pants, white sneakers, and carrying a bookbag," and noted that no arrests had been made as of yet, with investigations ongoing. The assault on Buscemi adds to a concerning trend in the city, with a dozen reported incidents of random attacks, predominantly against women, prompting six arrests over recent weeks.
