10:39 AM PT — A rep for the actor tells TMZ … Moranis was indeed assaulted on the Upper West Side. The rep adds he’s fine and grateful for everyone’s thoughts and well wishes.
Rick Moranis got a punch to the head during an unprovoked attack … but the suspect was busted on video, and now cops are searching for him.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … The “Ghostbusters” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” star was walking on Central Park West Thursday in Manhattan when, out of nowhere, a man in an I Love NY hoodie unleashed a violent punch … knocking Moranis down hard.
Check out the video … Rick had zero time to react to the attack. Almost as frightening … the attacker calmly continues walking away while Moranis lay on the ground writhing in pain.
Cops say Moranis filed a police report and went to a hospital for evaluation. He told docs he was suffering from pain in his head, back and right hip … as first reported by WCBS.
Cops are now looking for the attacker. There’s a $2,500 reward to anyone who provides info that leads to his arrest.
