Actor Steve Buscemi is OK after being punched in the face by a man on a New York street, his publicist said Sunday.
The 66-year-old star of “Fargo” and “Boardwalk Empire” was attacked in Manhattan on Wednesday morning and was taken to a nearby hospital with bruises, swelling and bleeding over his left eye.
“Steve Buscemi was attacked in midtown Manhattan, another victim of random acts of violence in the city,” his publicist said in a statement. “He’s fine and thank you all for the well wishes.”
The New York Post first reported the attack.
The New York Police Department released a statement Wednesday about the attack. Buscemi’s representative confirmed on Sunday that the unidentified assault victim in the police statement was the actor.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
On March 31, Buscemi’s “Boardwalk Empire” co-star Michael Stuhlbarg was hit in the back of the neck with a rock while walking in Manhattan’s Central Park. Stuhlbarg chased the attacker, who was detained outside the park.
