'Boardwalk Empire' Star Steve Buscemi's Alleged NYC Attacker Arrested

Authorities arrested Boardwalk Empire star Steve Buscemi's alleged attacker in New York City, more than a week after he was punched in the face.

Clifton Williams, 50, was taken into custody by police responding to a harassment call in the Chelsea neighborhood Friday, according to the NYPD, WABC-TV reported.

Authorities have not disclosed a motive in the attack, however it's speculated it was random.

It's unclear what charges Williams may face.

EMS took Buscemi to NYC Health and Hospitals/ Bellevue on May 8 in stable condition with bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye, Headlines & Global News previously reported.

Buscemi was "another victim of a random act of violence in the city," his publicist said in a statement to local media.

The actor is a New York native and was an FDNY firefighter before he got his big break in Quentin Tarantino's 1992 film "Reservoir Dogs." He has dozens of other credits including "Pulp Fiction", "Con Air", "Fargo" and lighter fare like Adam Sandler's "The Wedding Singer."
