NEW YORK – Actor Rick Moranis was sucker punched by an unknown assailant while walking Thursday on a sidewalk near New York's Central Park, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press.
The attack happened just a few blocks from the Central Park West apartment building where Moranis' character lived in the movie.
Police released surveillance video of the assault in seeking the public's help to find the attacker, but did not say Moranis was the victim because of privacy concerns.
Police describe the incident as a “random unprovoked assault.”Moranis was attacked while walking south on Central Park West.
Moranis suffered back, hip, neck and head pain, though the full extent of his injuries was not clear, the official said.
