Officers report that the Boardwalk Empire star was strolling in New York City when the “unknown object” struck him in the back of the neck, cutting him.
According to the New York City Police Department, Stuhlbarg refused to receive medical attention after the “assault” near 90th Street and East Drive.
At approximately 7:45 p.m. local time on Sunday, the event occurred close to Central Park for the American actor Richard Sackler, a former head of Purdue Pharma, who was nominated for an Emmy in 2022 for the film Dopesick, which explores the US opioid issue.
Stuhlbarg is most known for his roles in the 2022 Marvel superhero film Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness and the HBO criminal drama series Boardwalk Empire, in which he portrayed Jewish-American head of organized crime Arnold Rothstein.
He most recently acted in the Showtime drama Your Honor alongside Bryan Cranston and the HBO series The Staircase, which starred Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth and Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner.
