Vaughn's assailant fled after the incident early Friday,
said Sgt. Robert Lewis of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department.
A witness told authorities a man approached Vaughn,
who has co-starred in 'The Cell,' 'Swingers' and 'Return
to Paradise,' outside The Standard hotel.
The suspect spoke first, and Vaughn responded. Police
did not say what was said.
'The suspect took offense to him and hit him,' Lewis
said.
Vaughn's nose was bloodied, said his publicist, Ina
Teciokas.
'Vince never threw a punch, Teciokas said. 'He was
just standing outside and got punched.'
While filming 'Domestic Disturbance' in Wilmington,
N.C., in 2001, Vaughn and screenwriter Scott Rosenberg
were arrested after a barroom brawl in which the film's
co-star, Steve Buscemi , was stabbed several times.
Vaughn and Rosenberg were fined $250, ordered to pay
court costs, undergo alcohol counseling and stay away
from local bars. Buscemi was not charged.
