Steve Buscemi captured on video moments before the attack in NYC
Steve Buscemi was captured on video casually walking down the street, moments before he was randomly beaten by a huge assailant in New York.
On Monday, CBS News published footage last Wednesday of the actor strolling down Third Avenue in Manhattan while fiddling with his cell phone.
Suddenly, Buscemi looked at a passerby and apparently said something to the woman. He then crossed the street, where he was – off camera hit in the head by his attacker for no apparent reason.
Buscemi was rushed to Bellevue Hospital to be treated for bruising and swelling to his face, as well as bleeding in his left eye. While photos of his nasty injuries have surfaced in the media, Steve’s rep told us he is doing just fine.
The NYPD has yet to make an arrest in the case, but the department has released images of the unknown suspect to encourage anyone who recognizes him to call Crimestoppers.
Such random attacks have recently plagued New York – and some celebrities have been on the receiving end of the unprovoked beatings. Buscemi’s ‘Boardwalk Empire’ costar Michael Stuhlbarg and actor Rik Moranis were both attacked in the same manner in separate incidents.
