According to reports, Moranis made it to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for pain in his right hip, head, and back. He later went to the police to report the attack, but no one has been arrested yet.
Celebrities have taken to social to express their outrage!
Should have known not to subject Rick to the year 2020. Glad to hear he’s okay.
