“Boardwalk Empire” star Steve Buscemi is recovering after being brutally attacked last week by an unidentified assailant in New York City.

The Brooklyn native, who served as a New York City firefighter in the early 80s before switching careers to pursue acting, was assaulted in Midtown Manhattan just before noon on May 8. The award-winning actor’s publicist told The Epoch Times via email that the 66-year-old is yet “another victim of a random act of violence in the city.”
