Smollett, who publicly came out as being gay in 2015, was walking on a downtown street when two people approached him and yelled racial and homophobic slurs.
They allegedly wrapped a rope around his neck then began hitting Smollett in the face and poured an “unknown chemical substance” on him according to a statement from the Chicago Police Department.
“Given the severity of the allegations, we are taking this investigation very seriously and treating it as a possible hate crime,” the police statement said.
According to police, they’re investigating the incident as “a possible hate crime.”
Lee Daniels responds to Jussie’s attack on Instagram:
…Our prayers and support go out to Jussie at this time.
