NYPD: Actor Rick Moranis Victim Of Unprovoked Attack Caught On Camera In Manhattan

Quote:
The NYPD confirms actor Rick Moranis was randomly attacked by a stranger Thursday on the Upper West Side.

Police said it happened in broad daylight just before 7:30 a.m. on Central Park West near 70th Street.

Surveillance cameras captured the attack on the 67-year-old “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” and “Ghostbusters” actor.

Video shows the suspect, ironically wearing an “I Love New York” sweatshirt, walk up and punch Moranis in the head, knocking him to the ground.

Police said Moranis went to the hospital with pain in his head, back and hip. He later walked to the precinct to report the crime.

Kinda like that time in NYC when Dan Rather was approached by mobsters who asked him "what's the frequency, Kenneth?". To which Rather replied "I think that you have the wrong man", to which they replied "OH SURE...we have the wrong guy" and proceeded to beat on Rather, and put him in the hospital.

A case of mistaken identity.

New York City seems to have a lot of folks with a bad attitude who are also face blind. :lol:
