Steve Buscemi Sucker-Punched In New York City
Steve Buscemi is the latest celebrity to be sucker-punched in New York City. Thankfully, the actor is doing okay and was treated for swelling on his face and left eye.
Unfortunately, his attacker is still at large! This continues to happen across New York City as it’s recently happened to Rick Moranis and Bethenney Frankel, as well! Here’s more on the trending story.
Steve Buscemi Recovering After Being Sucker-Punched In NYC
It seems like Steve Buscemi is not as feared along the East Coast as his character was on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. The actor is from Brooklyn, so it happened right in his backyard!
According to The New York Post, Buscemi was strolling through Kips Bay when the attacker walked up and hit him in the face in broad-daylight! It was 11:48 am, according to reports! These assailants are getting bold!
The actor’s publicist tells the New York Post, “Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city. He is ok and appreciates everyone’s well wishes, though incredibly sad for everyone that this has happened to while also walking the streets of New York.”
This is scary! Hearing it happen at 2 am would be more expected and common. However, it wasn’t even noon! He was treated for his injuries at Bellevue Hospital, and the attacker took off after the sucker-punch and still has not been caught.
A witness of the crime tells the New York Post, “I saw he was with a woman, and then through the corner of the window I saw him trip and fall backwards. He right away got up and ran in the opposite direction. I didn’t see who hit him. It worries me for when we close because we close at 11 and it can get scary around that time.”
NYPD released surveillance photos of the alleged attacker who is seen as a bearded man wearing a baseball hat, a blue shirt, and black sweatpants. He looks like an ordinary citizen! Nothing about his appearance would make you think “this guy is going to attack me.”

5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn’t), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it’s the crime itself that’s wild, other times, it’s the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.
Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America’s Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I’m not sure if those shows are around…and I’m certain Spike TV isn’t around anymore. That’s a story for another time.

Craziest Crimes
Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren’t a matter of life or death. There’s no ethics quiz here, or any matters of ‘would you steal bread to support your family?’ These crimes, and criminals, aren’t straight up cringeworthy.
While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That’s why I’ve gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let’s be honest…what’s better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I’m going with the funny storytellers.
They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but…you get it. Let’s not delay! Here’s the list!
