bLACKIE,CLIFTON WILLIAMS ARRESTED IN ASSAULT OF BUSCEMI AND ONE OTHER VIC THE SAME DAY
(nbc)Alleged Steve Buscemi NYC attacker in custody, was tied to another assault on same day.
(GRA:He's about as "alleged" as Mike Johnson is "allegedly" a Dem in republican clothing.)
The 66-year-old actor was taken to the hospital where staff treated him for bruising, swelling, and bleeding to his left eye following the May 8 attack, police said,
Police said that the suspect, Clifton Williams, had punched another man on Third Avenue just minutes before he sucker-punched Steve Buscemi on a sidewalk in Kips Bay. He was arrested Friday after a supervisor at a Chelsea homeless shelter called police following a dispute in which Williams said he had items stolen from him. NBC New York’s Checkey Beckford reports.
The man identified as the suspect in an alleged sucker-punch attack on actor Steve Buscemi in Manhattan earlier this month was arrested, senior city officials with knowledge of the investigation confirmed Friday.
Clifton Williams was apprehended after his building supervisor called 911 during a dispute over Williams' property at a homeless shelter in Chelsea. After the 50-year-old claimed some of his belongings had been stolen, officers responded to get Williams' account and recognized him from the wanted pictures. He allegedly acknowledged his identity and was taken into custody.
Williams said nothing as he was led out of the police stationhouse in handcuffs. He had been identified Tuesday as the suspect in the May 8 attack on the "Boardwalk Empire" star in Kips Bay.
Police also revealed Friday that Buscemi was not Williams' only alleged victim that day: He punched a 22-year-old man near East 15th Street and Third Avenue just 10 minutes before slugging the actor, police said.
.
Williams was charged with misdemeanor assault in the first incident and felony assault in the attack on Buscemi, due to the 66-year-old being considered a senior citizen. Attorney information for Williams wasn't known.
There was no comment from the actor or his team regarding the arrest.
Williams had been staying at city shelters for the past few years. In April, he stayed at the Bellevue Men’s Shelter before being placed in Greenpoint.
GRA:He's healthy enough to do work--look at him--but he won't.That's blackies for you.
