NEW YORK (AP) – Actor Steve Buscemi is fine after punching a man in the face on a New York street, his publicist said Sunday.
The 66-year-old actor who starred in movies like “Fargo” and “Boardwalk Empire” was attacked Wednesday morning in Manhattan and taken to a nearby hospital for bruising, swelling and bleeding in his left eye.
“Steve Buscemi was attacked in Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city,” his publicist said in a statement released Sunday. “He is doing well and appreciates everyone’s well wishes.”
The New York Post was the first media organization to report on the attack.
The New York Police Department released a statement about the attack Wednesday without identifying those involved. Buscemi’s representative confirmed Sunday that the actor was the victim who was not named in the police statement.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation remains open.
Michael Stuhlbarg, who co-starred in “Boardwalk Empire” with Buscemi, was hit in the back of the head by a rock while walking through Central Park on March 31. Stuhlbarg followed his attacker, who was held outside the park.
