Actor Rick Moranis was attacked while walking in New York City on Thursday, Fox News can confirm.
The "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" star, 67, was sucker-punched by an unknown assailant while walking on a sidewalk near New York's Central Park, a rep for the star confirmed to Fox News on Friday.
"Rick Moranis was assaulted on the Upper West Side yesterday. He is fine but grateful for everyone’s thoughts and well wishes," the rep said in a statement.
Surveillance video shows a man wearing a black “I (heart) NY” sweatshirt and a backpack hitting Moranis and knocking him to the ground at approximately 7:24 a.m. Thursday.

If he is like most Hollyweird and NYC folks, he'll want to apologize to the attacker and pay some restititution for his sins.
But, I don't know about Moranis' politics, heck, he might not be a leftist nut. But what are the odds?

Here's the title of his next comedy film...
"Honey, I was beaten up by a black man for being white"

Of course, the attack was “random.” The attacker is black and the victim just happens to be white.

My first thought was "Who you gonna call -- GHOSTBUSTERS!. I enjoyed Rick's movies and hope he has a quick recovery from this unprovoked, vicious, and needless attack. Hope they find the perp and bring him to justice.

Not a problem. Just a friendly, peaceful rioter stopping by to say hello.

FYI, he’s Canadian. Might want to go back...I wouldn’t set foot in NYC for anything. Been several times and dirty, crowded cities have no appeal. And, even less now that certain people are allowed to commit crimes with no consequence. Get out polar bears...while you still can.

“ I ❤️New York. Yeah, right. As one poster said, I will never go to NYC again. In fact, I will never visit most of the big cities in the US. As an old white guy I am a target. I’ll keep my visits to places I can legally carry. So many one-time nice cities ruined by out of control feral young men. No need to mention their race. We all know who they are.

With all of the beautiful places to live in this country, why would you attempt to raise your kids in the middle of that cesspool? Their odds of getting through it undamaged grow less by the day.

Was the sweatshirt black, or was it bLACK? The new AP style guide omits this nuance. NYPD calling it a “random unprovoked assault” shows either incredibly bad pattern recognition or borderline criminal malfeasance on their part; we all know what this is about.

Wait till he finds out that some of his Hollywood cronies bailed the attacker out.

NYC has always been pretty rough on Canadians...
One of the great comedians from Second City Television for sure. Get well, Rick!

#15 Wait til he realizes that HE helped bail out his attacker, assuming attacker is even apprehended and held on bail. We are talking about NYC after all, eh?

Not surprising that Mr. Moranis being a diminutive man was attacked. He should take some training in Situational Awareness. Maybe even a CCW course.
