A man has been arrested on suspicion of sucker-punching actor Steve Buscemi in the face earlier this month in Manhattan, police said. Clifton Williams, 50, was arrested Friday afternoon and accused of second-degree assault, New York City police said It was not immediately clear Friday night if Williams had an attorney to comment on his behalf.
Buscemi sustained bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye, police said. Buscemi’s publicist had said the actor, while physically fine, was “incredibly sad” the attack occurred while walking in the streets of New York. On Wednesday, police named Williams as a suspect and released multiple photographs of him. Buscemi, a former FDNY firefighter, starred on the hit HBO television show “Boardwalk Empire.” He was the second actor from the TV show attacked this spring in Manhattan.
