The man suspected of sucker-punching actor Steve Buscemi in Kips Bay last week appeared to be talking to himself while walking down the street moments before the random attack, according to new video footage.
The clip obtained by CBS News shows the suspect saying something indiscernible to himself while walking north on Third Avenue just moments before he allegedly slugged the 66-year-old “Boardwalk Empire” star.
Buscemi, a New York native, was photographed with a black eye and bruised chin in his first appearance since Wednesday’s broad daylight assault.
The deranged man walked up to the actor and promptly punched him in the face in an unprovoked attack, police said.
“Everybody has to look over their shoulder now,” he added. “And no one with the power to do anything wants to stop what’s going on.”
Cops released photos of the Brooklyn-born actor’s alleged attacker last week as he remains out roaming the streets.
Buscemi, who was a New York City firefighter before launching his movie career, is doing OK, according to his agent.
