A person is in custody more than a week after actor Steve Buscemi was punched in an apparent random attack in New York City.

NEW YORK -- More than a week after actor Steve Buscemi was punched in an apparent random attack in New York City, police took a person of interest into custody Friday in connection with the case. Buscemi, known for his starring role in 'Boardwalk Empire,' was attacked on May 8 while walking on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Police did not immediately name the person in custody or say if they were being charged.

Additional video showed the same man appearing to be talking to himself while walking north on Third Avenue, moments before the unprovoked attack. Buscemi, a Brooklyn native and former FDNY firefighter, was taken to Bellevue Hospital for bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye. He declined an on-camera interview days later.
