“Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city,” Buscemi’s publicist said in a statement. “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 New York.”
The actor was taking a walk when a random stranger punched him. He suffered swelling to his face and left eye and was taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment.
