US actor, Jussie Smollett has been arrested in Chicago after being charged with filing a false police report.
The Empire star had said he was subjected to a homophobic and racist physical attack by two men in January.
Police, who suspected that the thirty-six year-old actor paid two Nigerian brothers, Ola and Abel Osundairo to stage the attack, said they are both co-operating with the investigation.
Suspicion over the actor’s claim started to grow after police said they could not find any video footage of the alleged incident from surveillance cameras.
But investigators managed to track two men who appeared on video footage near where the actor said he had been attacked.
