WILMINGTON, N.C.
(April 13, 2001 6:58 a.m. EDT) - Actors Steve Buscemi and Vince Vaughn got into a barroom brawl with North Carolina locals that left Buscemi bloody and Vaughn in jail.
Both actors were in town to film a movie called "Domestic Distrubance," which stars John Travolta.
Police say Buscemi was stabbed in the throat, head and arm in the fight at the Firebelly Lounge around 2 a.m. Thursday. He was treated at a hospital and released.
Buscemi, who has starred in such films as "Fargo" and "28 Days," flew to New York to recover.
Timothy Fogerty of Wilmington was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Vaughn, screenwriter Scott Rosenberg and two other Wilmington men were charged with misdemeanor assault. All four men posted bond
and were released Thursday, police said.
Police said the cause of the brawl is under investigation.
One witness said the fight started when Vaughn began talking to the girlfriend of one of the men at the nightclub. Tempers got heated and people went outside,
where the fighting escalated.
The filming of "Domestic Disturbance," which stars John Travolta, continued Thursday without Buscemi, according to a publicist.
Vaughn has starred in "The Cell" and "Return to Paradise." Rosenberg's screenwriting credits include the movies "Gone in 60 Seconds" and "High
Fidelity."
