The 46 year-old actor, who has been an outspoken advocate for children after reportedly enduring sexual abuse as a child, tweeted that he was attacked in a parking lot when a man distracted his security guards and stabbed him. Feldman posted pictures of himself in a hospital bed with his wife by his bedside, and added that the LAPD are investigating the attack as a homicide. According to CBS Los Angeles, police responded to a call late on Tuesday night and found that Feldman had experienced a minor stab wound, but have not released any other information.

In a tweet, Feldman drew a connection between his work exposing pedophilia and the attack. The Los Angeles Police Department told CBS that it cannot confirm the connection at this time.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
