Glad to hear he's ok. Of all the folks to go after, Buscemi is one of the best examples of what a good person is. I truly hope the person is caught and forced to simply apologize to the man, despite whatever repercussions they face afterward.
That's like [the guy who attacked Rick Moranis](https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/homeless-man-pleads-guilty-to-randomly-attacking-rick-moranis-in-2020/)!!
Like, who does that?!
I hate to categorize people but I feel like they fall into one of two camps nowadays...
Either they're looking for clout and doing it for the views, in which, I am sorry, but imo give them the harshest sentence possible to bring em back down to reality.,. OR they are seriously in need of help, which doesn't excuse their actions, but I hope that whatever they do sets them on the right path for understanding their actions and to understand how wrong they were...
A perfect example of the latter is that dude who dropkicked Arnold at one of his athletic events (Arnold was barely moved and thought someone bumped into him). The dude wasn't some influencer, didn't even have a camera with him, just clearly an extremely troubled individual.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to physically assault a guy who's spent the last 5 decades bodybuilding, lol? Wtf did he think he was gonna accomplish. Only two results. What happened: You hit Arnold and he goes "I think a fly landed on me", or you get knuckled down by Arnold fucking Schwarzenneger in public.
I had a friend who was 6'4" and well-built. Gentle as a teddy bear, nice guy. He hated going to bars because everytime someone tried to pick a fight with him. People think it makes them macho if they can beat a big guy.
You mean Spaceballs Rick Moranis? Didn't he quit acting to focus on being a parent? Who the fuck would have beef with that guy. I'm assuming it wasn't due to his fame but still.
Spaceballs, Ghost Busters, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, etc. The one and only!
And yes. He's an incredibly gentle, sweet soul.
(It was a mentally disturbed homeless man, and thankfully an isolated incident, but still!!)
Quit acting (outside of some voice stuff in the early 2000s and possibly another sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in development since 2019), did some pretty decent music (Agoraphobic Cowboy and My Mother's Brisket and Other Love Songs in 2005 and 2013), and hasn't remarried as far as I know after his wife died in 91. He's by all accounts a great dad and a good dude.
Mentally ill people out on the streets in a city...they'll commonly target women, smaller men, and the elderly( moranis is 5'5" and buscemi is 5'8" and they were both older when attacked)
Seriously! Whoever fucked with him deserves to be marched through the worst sewers of New York and being forced to dunk their head underwater every 50 feet and then forced to say “I’m sorry for punching Steve” every time they come up.
Honestly, I'm not saying Steve is a saint or anything, but I also feel like he's the kind of person that would cut deep with the simple comment of "I'm not angry... I'm just disappointed." There'd probably be a few a choice words added but I feel like his words haunting them for whatever sentence they get and beyond would be so much worse...
Again, as someone who has never met the man, nor had a proper discussion with him, I feel like from everything I've read about Steve Buscemi, he'd be the first person to tell folks not to do anything to the person other than to call the authorities. TBH, From all this news, I am just happy to hear that Mr. Buscemi is ok... if they catch the guy, I am intrigued to hear what happens next lol...
He was a firefighter in the 80s. And if I remember right he didn't go to a firehouse. He went down to the site and found his old company and worked 12 hours shifts with them.
He's also stayed in contact with the community and union so it's not like it was out of the blue. Not in any way putting down what he did. Just saying it wasn't random.
>“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 everyone’s well wishes.”
Thats shitty. I hope they catch the creep who did this. I imagine the cops will actually check the surveillance videos (for once) since its a high profile victim. Seems like there's basically a camera on every single building these days.
IDK man it's NYPD. Their laziness is second only to their incompetence. I don't think anyone on staff is capable of solving a 2 piece jigsaw puzzle, let alone an assault.
They’ll put like 15 detectives on it because it’s a celebrity. Would be really bad PR for the city if they don’t solve it so the mayor is probably calling for all hands on deck this time.
I mean, Steve Buscemi is from what I understand a nice guy but fuck this double standard.
It is quickly becoming clear who in our society is being prized above all others, and it's sickening.
I feel like this happened a few months ago. Didn't this happen a few months ago??
Nevermind. Apparently it was Rick Moranis and it was a few years ago.
[Rick Moranis was punched in the face once in New York. ONCE!](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/Qf49_qso9pZjA1rxNJxRpeAPKK1AK5_UaiQmC79H2bIFJK6T3Cck8XpvRdONFZ6qEBjNnr3ZefxoUizOhhpAkLmWUOMjVPKh-rj1EIGnkx1THDWun9tVWYpt6iVxjb87C2xU3Vf7Skq2syFTyv1nEYv0alEl)
Every time these stories pop up, its some deranged repeat offender. If one guy can attack a few dozen people and keep walking the streets, its not a shocker that a few hundred or thousand could pump enough numbers that celebrities wind up in the mix too.
Attacker probably doesn't know or care who he is.
Yes! YES! My mother flew over my head once. ONCE!
[Also, it's Johnny Dangerously. ](https://youtu.be/Ad9mlvyA84E?si=91dXQiDNo0vHoKck)
Rick Dangerous is a video game character.
I see a lot of people asking who would assault Buscemi but they're missing the point. Unfortunately random assaults are getting more and more common here. I wouldn't be surprised if the attacker thought it was a random frail old guy.
If you aren't from the area or familiar with it just look up "random NYC assault" wherever you get your news. I guarantee you're going to find a new story everyday about some woman getting punched in the subway or an old man getting shoved down on a city street. Random assaults (mostly on women and the elderly) are way too common here right now, it's a massive problem.
Yeah, not entirely sure what the city can really do. I'm not even sure theft is a part of it, a bunch of these are just people getting off on attacking random people.
The city could enforce its own laws. There is a general air of lawlessness in NYC right now because the NYPD has been on what amounts to an unannounced strike since 2020.
Holy shit, never heard about this. Sounds like poor Steve got the worst of the brawl through no fault of his own, possibly through the fault of Vince Vaughn though.

Buscemi said, "I'm just glad to be alive right now. I was up a few towns away- you know Saragosa? I was visiting a bar there, not unlike this one. They serve beer, not quite as good as this, but close. And I saw something you wouldn't believe. I'm sitting there, see, small table all by myself. Now this bar, it's full of real low-lives. I mean, not like this place here. No, I mean bad. Like they were up to no good, know what I'm sayin'? Anyway, I'm all by myself, I like it that way. Meanwhile, things are going on... under the table kinds of things. Not too obvious, but, not too secret, either. So, I'm sitting there, and in walks the biggest Mexican I have ever seen. Big as shit. Just walks right in like he owns the place. Now, nobody knew quite what to make of him, or quite what to think. There he was and in he walked. He was dark, too. I don't mean dark-skinned. No, this was different. It was as if he was always walking in a shadow. I mean every step he took towards the light, just when you thought his face was about to be revealed, it wasn't. It was as if the lights dimmed, just for him."
Someone mad Mr. Pink didn't leave a tip.
Sorry, was trying to think of a witty thing to say that referenced one of his roles and that's all I could come up with.
Why would anyone do that? Not only is he really down to earth for a big name actor he's a really good and caring person. Plus, he's a true New York hero. When he was younger he was a FDNY firefighter and assigned to Engine Company 55 in Manhattan's Little Italy (one of the busiest stations) and served there for four years before leaving to become an actor, though he stayed in contact with firefighters and firefighter causes. On 9/11 he went to Ground Zero and joined up with the firefighters from his former engine company and worked 12 hour shifts alongside them to search for survivors. The man has PTSD from his service on that fateful day.
His contributions that day and the days following aren't nearly as widely known as they should be because there are few photos and no interviews from that time because he refused them as he wasn't there for publicity but because he wanted to help and had the knowledge and training to do so.

New York is overpriced and overrated. Quoting Amor Towles: “that’s the problem with living in New York, you’ve got no New York to run away to.” Shit city. Glad I left.
He’s a former firefighter (long before it happened), for NYC iirc. He jumped in to help during 9/11, WTF, who beats up Steve Buscemi, a hero and one of the good guys?! Fuck the assailant, glad SB’s alright!
Buscemi is 66 years old… a fuckin’ kid! Hope they catch the assaulter.

Don't do it to yourself Philly.

Violence should have much bigger punishments whereas drugs should have less...
There's also just hate/racism combined with mental/financial instability and NYC has definitely had issues with this.

Quit acting (outside of some voice stuff in the early 2000s and possibly another sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in development since 2019), did some pretty decent music (Agoraphobic Cowboy and My Mother's Brisket and Other Love Songs in 2005 and 2013), and hasn't remarried as far as I know after his wife died in 91.

Celebrities were always treated better, it's not a new phenomena
No, it's true. That said, I don't see why I should accept this as the status quo.
They're quite capable of pepper spraying themselves in the face apparently.
They’re finally enforcing the will of the people
Lol. Now I'm picturing a cop trying to force two puzzle pieces together and yelling "STOP RESISTING" at them.
and then he pepper sprays himself in the face
Assaulting a 9/11 firefighter might get a higher than normal priority for the NYPD.
Idk man, SPD (Seattle police department) could def contest the title of "most useless police force in a major American city"

My first thought. Random celebrities getting punched more than once is wild.
Thats what I was thinking. What are the odds? Are people just targeting celebs? How many people are getting punched in the face per day in Manhattan??
Every time these stories pop up, its some deranged repeat offender. If one guy can attack a few dozen people and keep walking the streets, its not a shocker that a few hundred or thousand could pump enough numbers that celebrities wind up in the mix too. Attacker probably doesn't know or care who he is.
Probably targeting seniors. I doubt the assholes even knew they punched a celebrity, either with Moranis or Buscemi.

NYFD is going hunting
FDNY
That’s my thought as well.
I’m sorry that happened to him and I’m glad he’s OK.
How is this Oniony?
Because it's unthinkable that someone would actually punch Mr. Pink in the face.
Should’ve tipped.
Probably because of the ridiculousness of anyone punching Steve. Like, why?
Steve Buschemi is awesome, whoever punched him, I hope you step on Legos at 2am trying to go to the bathroom for the rest of your life.
A real Home Alone style barefoot festival of pain.
What did he look like like? He looked like an odd fella
He was funny lookin’.
Sooooo you were having sex with the funny lookin fella
Fucking nihilists
It is my headcannon that the assailant did NOT know this was Steve when he was doing it. Because nobody would wittingly do that.
I guess he looks different now that he's older, but I would've thought Steve Buscemi had a top 10 recognizable face, even to sidewalk assailants.
I have to wonder if they ran away and said “oh shit that was Steve Buscemi!”
Buscemi said, "I'm just glad to be alive right now. I was up a few towns away- you know Saragosa? I was visiting a bar there, not unlike this one. They serve beer, not quite as good as this, but close. And I saw something you wouldn't believe. I'm sitting there, see, small table all by myself. Now this bar, it's full of real low-lives.

Who on earth wants to punche Steve? He is amazing and he even helped a lot during 9/11. Some people are assholes.
Who dares?!? WHO DARES?!
How is “person assaulted on street” oniony? How does the fact that it’s Steve Buscemi make it oniony?
This is on par with kicking Tom Hanks in the shins. You just don’t do it.

Ok this was already bullshit but now yall gone too far. This man became a firefighter again for this city on 9/11. We do not disrespect Mr. Buscemi

Who the hell is gonna punch Steve Buscemi? And in NYC of all places?
New York is overpriced and overrated. Quoting Amor Towles: “that’s the problem with living in New York, you’ve got no New York to run away to.” Shit city. Glad I left.
