Grammer, 36, said she was cut in the arm and stabbed her dinner partner. Both were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said in a report.
“My friend and I did what anyone would do in the same situation. Several others, predominantly women, were also trying to prevent the altercation from escalating, “Grammer said in a statement.
“I suffered a laceration in my arm and my friend was stabbed in the back, but fortunately he suffered no serious internal injuries. We hope to recover quickly. “
Grammer and her friend were eating at the Black Ant restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood around 11 p.m. when the fight broke out, NBC New York reported.
“We want to thank the first responders and staff at Bellevue Hospital, who provided excellent care,” he said. “They fought an incredible battle this year. It was very moving for us to have the opportunity to thank them in person.”
The alleged attacker fled the scene and no arrests were made, police said. Police released a photo of a suspect and asked the public for help identifying him.
Grammer, 36, is known for her voice work on Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty,” as well as for appearing on the ABC Family series “Greek.” She is the daughter of the former “Cheers” star and his first wife, Doreen Alderman.
