As previously reported, Smollett was brutally attacked in the wee hours of Tuesday morning while leaving a Subway restaurant in Chicago.

The Chicago Police Department is dubbing the incident a hate crime, as the Empire star, who openly identifies as gay, was approached by two men in ski masks who put a noose around his neck, began beating him and threw an unknown chemical substance rumored to be bleach onto his body.
