Steve Buscemi hospitalised after being attacked on New York street

Steve Buscemi was hospitalised last week after being attacked on the street in New York City.

As reported by his publicist, the 66-year-old actor was assaulted on the street in Manhattan on Wednesday (May 8).

A statement from his representative said: “Steve Buscemi was assaulted in mid-town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city.

“He is okay and appreciates everyone’s well wishes.”

A statement from the New York Police Department added that their investigation into the attack is ongoing and no arrests have been made.

Earlier this year, Buscemi’s Boardwalk Empire co-star Michael Stuhlbarg was also subject to a reportedly random attack in the city.

Stuhlbarg was attacked with a rock in the back of the neck during a walk in Central Park, with his attacker arrested and charged.
