Actor Steve Buscemi was the victim of a random attack in Manhattan last Wednesday morning. The 66-year-old star of 'Boardwalk Empire' and 'Fargo' was punched in the face while walking in the Kips Bay neighborhood. The incident occurred in broad daylight while Buscemi was leaning against a wall, texting on his phone. Buscemi was taken to Bellevue Hospital where he was treated for bruising, swelling, and bleeding to his left eye. The assailant is still on the run, and police are actively searching for the suspect. Buscemi's publicist confirmed that the actor is okay and appreciates everyone's well wishes, though he is saddened by the incident.
