Boardwalk Empire Actor Michael Stuhlbarg sustained an injury after reportedly being attacked by a homeless man in New York City.
Stuhlbarg, 55, experienced a frightening ordeal near New York’s Central Park on Sunday night.
The actor was strolling when he was reportedly approached and assaulted by a homeless man armed with a large rock.
According to police reports, the incident occurred around 7:45 p.m. near East 90th and East Drive in Manhattan.
The star was hit in the back of his neck with a rock allegedly wielded by Xavier Israel, 27.
