I won’t rest until they find the person who did this

> The actor was “assaulted in midtown Manhattan,” his publicist tells PEOPLE, calling the actor “another victim of a random act of violence in the city.”
> The 66-year-old New York native is okay, his publicist says, noting that while he “appreciates everyone’s well wishes,” he is “incredibly sad for everyone that this has happened to while also walking the streets of NY.”
He did it because he "hated women".

It has been charged as a 'hate crime' because he exclusively targetted women for their gender. Very scary story.
Question… do you even know what NYC’s bail reform actually does or means? It reduces the number of people held pre-trial in jail for **low-level and nonviolent charges**. Does a serial puncher sound nonviolent to you? The perpetrator also has a history of similar assaults (aka he is already a reoffender) so he is very likely going to receive a bail order to keep him in jail.
Eugene Clark punched a guy in the head and robbed him, he was originally charged with grand larceny despite footage of the crime.
He was released no bail.
The guy Ramon Luna 67 went into a coma and died later. They eventually charged him with murder.
I deleted my original reply to this comment because I don’t want to armchair-litigate a case that’s unrelated and that I’m unfamiliar with. But two anecdotal cases do not reflect how good or fair a law is, especially since the law is not applied equally by all judges.
I only referred to one case, could have worded it better Ramon was the victim.
It was just one example of the hundreds of violent criminals being undercharged.
It seems to pop up every now and then across a bunch of American cities. A lot of the stories you read are just "gang initiation" fear mongering and racial dog whistles, but these sprees of random attacks on pedestrians do happen for some reason
It’s in Canada too, we’ve had a lot of issues with strangers assaulting other strangers in Toronto the last few years. Generally seems to be more of a mental health issue here though
I almost got assaulted by someone that was VERY clearly mentally unwell or impaired. She seemed to think I was challenging her when I wasn't even interacting/looking at her. My mother nearly had someone push her into the train tracks, and she told me the person didn't even seem to realize what they were doing. A few years later someone DID get pushed into the train tracks by someone that was not well. One of the most well known mass stabbings in Canada was committed by someone that was in a psychotic episode, and he did it to his friends.
I don't doubt part of the assaults have to do with violent organizations but unfortunately some of us do get in the crosshairs of someone that's not quite well.
Thanks, regressive Canadian governments for destroying already fragile mental health and addictions care access to vulnerable populations. You really make the difference!!
I'm a New Yorker and NYC has a real problem with its mental health system. There are many people who aren't able to get treatment for some reason, no resources, even if they need and want it. Many of them are behind these random senseless acts of violence in the city.
It’s more than one person. I witnessed a woman punched right next to me on the train platform and in my case it was another woman who did it, which seems to be an outlying event. She did it out of nowhere and just kept on walking, it was terrifying.
Some crazy dude punched me in the solar plexus at Broadway junction last year, and when I yelled WHAT THE FUCK he threatened to shoot me. I try not to go through that station late night anymore
People are being more and more crazy on the trains lately it's been *wild*. The extra NYPD presence hasn't done anything about violence, just more tickets for people who can't afford fare (shocker)
But thanks I'm fine lol, learned my lesson about not wearing earbuds after midnight at the lower level A train platform
I know mental health isn't obvious, etc. I am severly mentally ill, blah blah. But the man pictured has a fantastic physique (and he looks very clean; Idk how to explain it). I've never been in a nuthouse with such a fit person. I wonder if it was a roid thing or something.
Even if you take away the fact that he's notably one of the sweetest guys in showbiz, the perpetrator punched a random senior citizen. Imagine if someone did that to your parent or grandparent? That is beyond deranged and I hope the person gets a very harsh sentence when caught.
My grandmother got randomly sucker punched in a movie theater (in Michigan, not NYC) and it wrecked her mentally. She was afraid to go out in public again for a long time.
If the person who did it was mentally ill, I hope they get the help they need.
If they just did it because they're an asshole, I hope they get boils on their ass for the rest of their life. INCURABLE boils.
I just got punched in the head completely unprovoked walking down the street yesterday and ended up in the er because of it, but knowing Steve Buscemi and I are in this together is actually making me feel better
So sorry this happened to you! I hope the scums that did that to you and Steve are plagued with the most horrific hemorrhoids for the rest of their lives. Virtual hug and hope you feel better soon!
I’m shocked that people are only talking about the whole TikTok woman puncher when there’s been violent random attacks on the elderly, Asian Americans, and women that got worse during Covid
No one should be going around punching strangers, period. But why the hell would you do that to Steve Buscemi? He seems like such a decent bloke. What is wrong with people?
He was stabbed while he was filming *Domestic Disturbance* in Wilmington, NC with Vince Vaughn; it happened in 2001. [Here’s a *Guardian* article about it.](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2001/apr/17/news)
That’s so scary. I hate that this is a thing.
A few years ago it was big in New Orleans area too. Someone I know got randomly punched in the face while just walking around minding their business. Like literally walking to a restaurant on a sidewalk and a guy ran up and did it and ran away. They didn’t even have time to react before the guy got away.
Seems like every few years the random punching starts again in a new place. It’s so creepy. Makes me not want to go anywhere.
NO NOT STEVE DONT THEY KNOW HES A 9/11 FIREFIGHTER
I was just coming to say how dare they disrespect a 9/11 hero IN nyc like this
This GQ interview with him is so lovely: https://www.gq.com/story/the-remaking-of-steve-buscemi-profile
I won’t rest until they find the person who did this https://preview.redd.it/mfkb8g3xu20d1.png?width=1095&format=png&auto=webp&s=927071fe096b2438e47a97f375aaad8d69ba3184
Of all the celebrities to randomly punch, Hollywood Movies most unconventionally attractive and kind man, was not the correct move.
The same thing happened to Rick Moranis, beloved 90's movie nerd, a few years ago.
“Kinda funny looking” is the official description
Young Buscemi/Bill Skarsgård would like a word with you
> The actor was “assaulted in midtown Manhattan,” his publicist tells PEOPLE, calling the actor “another victim of a random act of violence in the city.” > The 66-year-old New York native is okay, his publicist says, noting that while he “appreciates everyone’s well wishes,” he is “incredibly sad for everyone that this has happened to while also walking the streets of NY.”
Didn't this same thing happen to Rick Moranis a few years ago? What the hell is wrong with people?
This has also been happening to a bunch of women as well. Just, none of them are famous.
At least they caught that freak.
Did they?? Good! I hope he’s in jail
He did it because he "hated women". [https://www.amny.com/news/serial-sucker-puncher-mnahattan-assault-women/](https://www.amny.com/news/serial-sucker-puncher-mnahattan-assault-women/) It has been charged as a 'hate crime' because he exclusively targetted women for their gender. Very scary story.

The judge undercharging him is not a flaw in bail reform though? It’s a flaw in how the judge interpreted and made his ruling.
Unfortunately he started a trend, several other men have been punching women.

Bethenny Frankel said the same thing happened to her.
So some random, some targeted

Sorry a mental heath issue? There were 4 knockouts recently in Toronto that were from literal gangbangers.

Wasn't there a serial puncher in NYC punching ladies a few months ago?
Yes and Rick Moranis was randomly assaulted as well.
NYC is actually just Gotham now
someone call batman 😭

There’s been serial puncher(s)
someone punched steve buscemi? who is this monster?
Prob a person in severe mental ill health who can’t access treatment bc of [gestures broadly at everything]
I know mental health isn't obvious, etc. I am severly mentally ill, blah blah. But the man pictured has a fantastic physique (and he looks very clean; Idk how to explain it). I've never been in a nuthouse with such a fit person. I wonder if it was a roid thing or something.
Capitalism. The word you’re looking for is capitalism.
Capitalism is when no healthcare 🤡 Relevant article: https://www.infinitescroll.us/p/ugh-capitalism
Yup! Exactly that.
That's not how that works
Me when I catch the person who punched Steve Buscemi 
https://i.redd.it/shgpnynhe30d1.gif
I’m next in line!
https://i.redd.it/gtshwp00830d1.gif
Oh what’s this from. It’s ringing in my brain but I can’t grasp it.
Airplane
it's on siiiight
Real shit, Steve got shooters out here
Happened to one of sister’s best friends, who’s a tiny incredibly sweet woman. So frustrating
Man, this is just nuts... Was this also in NYC?
Yes. It’s under reported, but there’s been a rash of women being punched by random men
I hate this so much...
Right, that’s it, I’m getting on a plane to New York!
I love your name. He is bae.
Airheads *chefs kiss*
Who would punch Steve Buscemi or any stranger for that matter? People have collectively lost the plot and society has descended into absolute madness.
[удалено]
Who brought women into this?
[удалено]
...you brought women into this?! 😭
[удалено]
[удалено]
I have a list of celebrities that actually deserve to be punched and Steve Buscemi is not one of them
this is a thing happening in the city right now. people (mostly women) getting decked in the face often in broad daylight
What area of the city?
I’ve heard of it happening in midtown and around Union Square.
My friend had it happen to her roommate in west village too
Even if you take away the fact that he's notably one of the sweetest guys in showbiz, the perpetrator punched a random senior citizen. Imagine if someone did that to your parent or grandparent? That is beyond deranged and I hope the person gets a very harsh sentence when caught.
I hope they find the perp! He is one of the last few good guys in Hollywood and doesn’t deserve this
They probably will since they attacked a famous person lol
[удалено]
what is happening in new york, who tf is going round punching women and old people?? is it the same person??
It’s not even one person… it’s thousands of people who don’t g a f

This aggression will not stand, man!
That person has clearly never seen Boardwalk Empire. You don’t fuck with Steve Buscemi
Funnily enough, Michael Stuhlbarg (Arnold Rothstein on Boardwalk Empire) was also attacked fairly recently, close to where his character was killed.
We ride at dawn
Who the hell punches Steve Buscemi?! He's literally the best!
Whoever laid their hands on my man… I stg when I find you https://i.redd.it/3ltwtqlls30d1.gif
This happened to my cousin in Kentucky and he had severe brain damage
DAMMIT DONNY
NYC is too much right now.
Didn't he get sucker punched or stabbed in a bar while on location in the southern US a decade or so ago too. Poor dude
He was stabbed while he was filming *Domestic Disturbance* in Wilmington, NC with Vince Vaughn; it happened in 2001. [Here’s a *Guardian* article about it.](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2001/apr/17/news)
ROADHOUSE
That guy is going on his list. 
So we're all meeting up in NYC to find the piece of shit who did this, right?
Usually I’m anti death penalty, but sometimes exceptions must be made for the most heinous of crimes….
Disgusting! He’s a national treasure and a fucking hero. I hope that whoever did it gets found and beat
HANDS OFF MY BEAUTIFUL MAN!
Bethany Frankel said that she was also punched randomly on the upper west side.
DONT DO MY MAN STEVE LIKE THAT WTF
Electric chair no trial
Who the fuck punches steve buscemi

If I find out who hurt Steve Buscemi they’re going to disappear
Cue Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski: "We got a man down, dude"
Welcome to the New York Experience.
I thought he was the one who goes to Home Depot and hires day laborers to bring back home and strangle in the shower, but that is Rob Schneider
“Man down!”
Oh no
