Actor Steve Buscemi randomly punched in Manhattan

Actor Steve Buscemi was randomly assaulted in New York City last week, his
publicist said Sunday. 

The iconic actor, a New York native known for starring roles in the television
show "Boardwalk Empire" and in movies such as "Fargo" and "Reservoir Dogs," was
allegedly assaulted in Manhattan's Kips Bay neighborhood in a "random act of
violence," Buscemi's publicist said.

Police said they responded to a 911 call about an assault at about 11:48 a.m. ET
on May 8. Responding officers were told a 66-year-old man was punched in the
face in front of 369 3rd Avenue by an unidentified individual, the New York
Police Department said last week in a news release that did not identify Buscemi
by name. The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition for
treatment of bruising, swelling, and bleeding to his left eye.



Buscemi "is ok and appreciates everyone's well wishes, though incredibly sad for
everyone that this has happened to while also walking the streets of NY," his
publicist said.

The NYPD said the suspect was "wearing a dark colored baseball style cap, blue t
shirt, black pants, white sneakers, and carrying a bookbag," adding that there
were no arrests and the investigation was continuing. 

Police said there have been a dozen reported incidents over the past several
weeks of people, mostly women, being randomly attacked in New York City — with
six arrests being made.
