Actor Rick Moranis was recently the victim of an unprovoked attack in New York City, and the incident has sparked a strong response from social media users. Taking to Twitter, fellow actor Chris Evans said, “My blood is boiling. Find this man. You don’t touch Rick Moranis.”
In security footage of the incident, Moranis could be seen walking by a building when the unidentified man walks up and punches him in the head. The 67-year-old actor then falls to the ground, and the man walks off. According to ABC 7, Moranis was able to get himself to the hospital, where he was treated for head pain due to the hit inflicted on him, as well as other pain caused by his fall. The Honey, I Shrunk The Kids star has since filed a report with the NYPD, but it is currently unknown if the police have any leads. Over on social media, fans of Moranis have been livid over the report. Scroll down to see what they are saying.

Rick Moranis left Hollywood behind to raise a family suffering the lost of his kid’s mother. He sacrificed fame and fortune and in return New Yorkers need to sacrifice any ill they feel toward the NYPD and do everything in their power to INFORM on the culprit.

This the worst news of the last two days. Can we get better video – enlarged video so someone can identify this person? This is why Rick Moranis avoided our country for decades. I guess he was right all along. We don’t deserve him. https://t.co/ZeNGFdBdlF
