A second "Boardwalk Empire" actor has been injured in what police sources have
described as a random attack in Manhattan.

Steve Buscemi, 66, was in Kips Bay on Wednesday when a stranger came up and
walloped the actor across the face, that's according to two NYPD sources. They
said Buscemi had been leaning up against a wall around 12 p.m., texting on his
phone, at the time of the attack.

Medics responded to 3rd Avenue and East 28th Street, where they picked up
Buscemi and took him to Bellevue Hospital. Police said the actor was treated for
bruising, swelling, and bleeding to his left eye.

The attacker has not yet been identified, but the NYPD released surveillance
images of the alleged suspect in hopes of tracking him down.

“Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random
act of violence in the city," the actor's publicist said in a statement to NBC
News. "He 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.”

Buscemi is known for his roles in the films "Fargo" and "Reservoir Dogs," or the
recent TV series "Miracle Workers." He was last seen on screen in the final
season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," which ended its 12 season run in April.

Buscemi is the second actor from the popular HBO television show "Boardwalk
Empire" attacked this spring. Michael Stuhlbarg was struck in the head with a
rock while walking near Central Park on March 31.

A homeless man, later identified as 27-year-old Xavier Israel, was taken into
custody; he faces assault and harassment charges. Israel is allegedly the same
person who attacked a good Samaritan who gave him a coat in Manhattan more than
two years ago.

Stuhlbarg is currently acting in "Patriots" on Broadway.

A "Boardwalk Empire" actor is recovering from a rock to the head he suffered at
random as he walked near Central Park Sunday night, authorities say.
