A few other celebs have been randomly assaulted throughout the years, including in New York City. In March 2024, a man hurled a rock at Steve Buscemi’s “Boardwalk Empire” co-star Michael Stuhlbarg and hit his neck. According to The New York Times, Stuhlburg did not seek medical treatment after his unprovoked attack, which took place in Central Park. In 2020, Rick Moranis was the victim of an assault more akin to Buscemi’s when he got sucker-punched not far from the park. “The victim suffered from pain to the head, back, and right hip,” an NYPD spokesperson told USA Today. Both of the popular character actors’ attackers were arrested.
In March 2024, the New York Post corroborated the claims of two New York-based TikTokers who claimed they were struck in the head in random attacks. The NYPD confirmed that it was investigating the assaults that Halley Kate and Olivia Brand described in videos on their TikTok accounts. The week following Buscemi’s attack, the New York Post also spoke to an acting student who was assaulted mere blocks away from where the actor got punched. The anonymous male victim told the outlet that his attacker swung a heavy bag at him and struck his head. The victim also recalled a conversation between the EMTs and law enforcement officials who responded to his attack. “They were all saying it’s happening more and more now — at least once a day they’re getting called for these attacks,” he said.
