Actor Steve Buscemi was injured in a random attack by a passer-by in New York City, his publicist said.
The Boardwalk Empire and Reservoir Dogs actor needed hospital treatment to his face after a “random act of violence” in Manhattan, his publicist said. He suffered bruises and a bloody eye.
Police said they responded to an emergency call on Wednesday about a 66-year-old man being punched in the face.
A description of the suspect and his photograph were released by police.
He was wearing a dark-coloured baseball cap, blue T-shirt, black trousers and white trainers and was carrying a bag.
Buscemi was attacked in Midtown at around 11:48 ET (15:48 GMT) on 8 May near 369 Third Ave.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment of bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye.
“Steve Buscemi was… another victim of a random act of violence in the city,” the statement read.
