NEW YORK โ A New York man was arrested Saturday in connection with an unprovoked assault against Rick Moranis that occurred as the 67-year-old actor was walking near Central Park in October.
New York City police said 35-year-old Marquis Ventura, whom authorities listed as homeless, was arrested Saturday afternoon.
It wasn't known if Ventura had retained an attorney who could comment.
Video released by police showed a man wearing a black โI (heart) NYโ sweatshirt hit Moranis with a sucker punch and knock him to the ground.
Police didn't identify Moranis at the time, but Moranis's representative, Troy Bailey, confirmed the actor had been attacked.
