Steve Buscemi was seen with a badly bruised eye just days after being viciously punched by a random attacker in New York City.

The actor, 66, was photographed strolling by a film crew in Soho Sunday with a black eye.

Buscemi’s left eye was noticeably swollen behind his thick-framed glasses and he kept his baseball cap pulled over his face in an attempt to conceal his wound.

He was dressed for the gloomy Spring weather in a black puffer vest layered under a bomber jacket and kept his hands in his pockets as he popped out in public for the first sighting since the attack.

The “Boardwalk Empire” star sustained the painful-looking shiner when he was walking in Kips Bay last Wednesday afternoon.

He was approached by a brute who flung a fist at Buscemi in broad daylight and struck him on the left side of the face, police sources told The Post.

The Brooklyn native suffered swelling to the face and left eye and later received medical treatment at Bellevue Hospital.

His attacker fled the scene and is still on the lam, the sources shared.

“Steve Buscemi was assaulted in Mid-Town Manhattan, another victim of a random act of violence in the city,” Buscemi’s publicist said in a statement to The Post.

“He is OK and appreciates everyone’s well wishes, though incredibly sad for everyone that this has happened to him while also walking the streets of New York.”

The alleged attacker was photographed in surveillance images released by the NYPD, which show the suspected perp with a beard wearing a baseball hat, a blue T-shirt and black sweatpants.

“I saw he was with a woman, and then through the corner of the window I saw him trip and fall backwards,” a worker in the area who witnessed part of the assault told The Post.

The witness added, “He right away got up and ran in the opposite direction. I didn’t see who hit him.

“It worries me for when we close because we close at 11 and it can get scary around that time,” said the woman, who asked to be identified only as Nat.

The unprovoked attack against the Hollywood star is just the latest in a string of assaults ripping through the five boroughs.
