Actor Steve Buscemi, star of “Fargo” and “Boardwalk Empire,” was attacked in Manhattan late Wednesday morning and taken to a nearby hospital with bruising, swelling and bleeding in his left eye.

“Steve Buscemi was attacked in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of random violence in the city,” his publicist said in a statement on Sunday. “He is doing well and appreciates everyone’s good wishes.”

The attack was first reported by the New York Post.

The New York Police Department issued an anonymous statement about the attack on Wednesday. Buscemi’s representative confirmed Sunday that the unidentified attack victim in the police statement was the actor.

Police said there had been no arrests and that investigations were continuing.

Buscemi’s Boardwalk Empire co-star Michael Stuhlbarg was hit in the neck by a rock while walking in Manhattan’s Central Park on March 31. Stuhlbarg pursued his attacker, who was taken into custody outside the park.
