What the hell is wrong with some people???
NEW YORK (AP) Actor Steve Buscemi is OK after he was punched in the face by a man on a New York City street, his publicist said Sunday.
The 66-year-old star of Fargo and Boardwalk Empire was assaulted late Wednesday morning in Manhattan and taken to a nearby hospital with bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye.
Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city, according to a statement Sunday from his publicist. He is ok and appreciates everyones well wishes.
The assault was first reported by the New York Post. The New York Police Department put out a nameless statement on the assault Wednesday. Buscemis representative confirmed Sunday that the unidentified assault victim in the police statement was the actor.

I don't get this, why would a stranger walk up to anyone and just randomly punch them?
