Actor Steve Buscemi (“Reservoir Dogs”, “The Big Lebowski”) was recently attacked in New York City. Walking on the streets of Manhattan, he was randomly punched in the face and immediately taken to a hospital.
On May 8, Wednesday, Buscemi was reportedly walking with a woman in front of 369 Third Ave. Unfortunately for the star, he fell prey to a violent attack and was punched in his face around 11:48 am. The 66-year-old actor was taken to Bellevue Hospital for medical care after suffering swelling in his left eye and face.
The attacker who punched Buscemi still hasn’t been found by authorities. As per the CCTV surveillance photo released by NYPD, a bearded man sporting a baseball hat, a blue t-shirt, and black sweatpants was responsible for the punch.
This is the second random NYC assault this year for “Boardwalk Empire” alum. Buscemi’s co-star, Michael Stuhlbarg, was also assaulted in late March.
Is “The Exorcist” truly the greatest horror film ever made, or has time crowned a new champion of fear? Maybe it’s “The Shining,” ‘Texas Chainsaw,’ “Psycho,” or something entirely unexpected that still keeps you up at night.
