Hollywood actor Steve Buscemi was hit in the face by a stranger on the street in New York in the middle of the day and had to be hospitalized. A suspect is now in custody.
Ten days after a physical attack on US actor Steve Buscemi on the street in New York, a suspect is in custody. A 50-year-old man was arrested in New York on Friday, US media reported, citing police. The alleged perpetrator faces assault charges, police said, according to CNN.
Accordingly, the man is accused of hitting the actor in the face on May 8th. Shortly before, the homeless man is said to have attacked a 22-year-old man on the street.
The actor (“The Big Lebowski,” “Fargo”) suffered bruising, swelling and bleeding in his left eye in the incident and was taken to the hospital. “Steve Buscemi was attacked in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of random violence in the city,” a spokesman for the actor later said. “He is doing well and is grateful for all the good wishes.”
In recent months, other people have reported on social media about attacks by strangers on New York streets. Reality star and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel said in March that a man punched her in the face. At the end of March, according to US media, actor Michael Stuhlbarg, who plays with Buscemi in the drama series “Boardwalk Empire”, was thrown with a stone by a man and hit in the neck.
