Associated Press reports that actor Steve Buscemi is recovering after randomly being punched in the face by a man on the street in New York City. According to the 66-year-old actor's publicist, the 'Boardwalk Empire' star was assaulted on the morning of May 8 in Manhattan. After the attack, Buscemi was taken to a nearby hospital with bruising, swelling and bleeding from his left eye. "Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city." "He is ok and appreciates everyone’s well wishes.", Steve Buscemi's publicist, via Associated Press. According to the local police department, no arrests have been made and the investigation is still ongoing.

In that incident, Stuhlbarg gave chase and the attacker was taken into custody outside the NYC park. In the recent attack involving Buscemi, the New York Police Department initially released a nameless statement on the assault. The 'Fargo' star's publicist confirmed to the New York Post that the unidentified victim in the attack was the actor. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
