New documents state that Jussie Smollett's attackers used their hands, feet and teeth when beating him down.

This has been a puzzling year so far in terms of entertainment and music news. From 21 Savage's recent arrest to Jussie Smollett's vicious beatdown, news headlines have been all over the place in the last week. Details of Smollett's attack are starting to become clearer with the actor admitting that he initially did not want to notify the police. The report has since made its way online and many are focusing on one section of the document. 

The Chicago Police Department released an incident report yesterday that reveals the actor's injuries were deemed "minor." It also says that his attackers used their teeth in addition to their hands and feet when beating him down. When he was found, Smollett still had a rope tied around his neck.

As of now, the incident is being investigated as a possible racist and homophobic crime. There is no mention of the attackers yelling "This is MAGA country" in the report, which would contradict what was initially detailed. 

The Empire star was walking to his apartment after a bite out at Subway when he was approached by two people wearing all black. The police is working on finding the attackers after finding more surveillance footage that may help identify them.
