<p>The suspects shouted racial and homophobic slurs during the attack, police said. No arrests have been made.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi posted two CCTV images to Twitter, showing a pair of figures wearing black.</p>
<p>Mr Guglielmi said they are “people of interest” who were in area of the alleged assault.</p>
<p>He added: <em>“While video does not capture an encounter, detectives are taking this development seriously &; wish to question individuals as more cameras are being reviewed.”</em></p>
<p>Smollett has starred in Fox’s musical drama Empire since 2015. He plays Jamal, the gay son of a music mogul, played by Terence Howard.</p>
<p>His Empire co-star Taraji P Henson is among the celebrities to have offered their support on social media.</p>
<p>As well as his acting, Smollett is also a singer and activist who has advocated HIV/Aids prevention.</p>
