In a shocking incident, actor Steve Buscemi, known for his role in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, was assaulted in a random attack on the streets of Manhattan. The assault took place on the morning of May 8 in the Kips Bay neighborhood of New York City. Buscemi was walking near the corner of Third Avenue and East 27th Street when he was punched in the face. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The 66-year-old actor suffered bruising, swelling, and bleeding in his left eye. Though he appreciates everyone’s well wishes, Buscemi is understandably saddened that this incident occurred while he was simply walking the streets of New York. His publicist released a statement confirming that he is okay but deeply saddened by the incident.
The New York Police Department is currently investigating the assault, but no arrests have been made so far. This incident follows a similar attack on Buscemi’s Boardwalk Empire co-star, Michael Stuhlbarg, back in April. Stuhlbarg was hit in the back of the neck with a rock while walking in Central Park. He managed to chase down the assailant, who was later apprehended and charged with assault.
Fellow actor Michael Rapaport expressed his support for Buscemi, describing him as “the salt of the earth” and praising his generosity and kindness. Buscemi, who was a firefighter in New York City before pursuing acting, is widely respected in the industry and has appeared in numerous films, including Reservoir Dogs, Fargo, and The Big Lebowski.
The assault on Steve Buscemi serves as another unfortunate reminder of the random acts of violence that can occur in a bustling city like New York. The incident has sparked conversations about the safety and security of pedestrians in the city and the need for increased vigilance. Hopefully, the authorities will apprehend the perpetrator soon and ensure that justice is served.
