Chicago police are investigating after a Facebook Live video appeared to show a man being tied up and attacked by several people.
Four people were taken into custody on Wednesday and are being questioned, police said. Authorities were expected to release more information Wednesday evening.
In the video, a white man is seen restrained, his mouth covered with duct tape as he sits on the ground. A black man holding a knife cuts his clothing as well as his scalp.
“Fuck Donald Trump, fuck white people,” the man says.
The video was shot by a black woman, who laughs, smokes and for most of the video, turns the camera to face herself and several other people.
Police said they first encountered the apparent victim as he was walking in the 3400 block of West Lexington. He was disoriented, and taken to a hospital. His condition was stable, police said.
“Regarding the disturbing video that surfaced on social media of a battery: Incident is under investigation/suspects are being questioned,” the Chicago Police Department said on Twitter.
Later that day, officers responded to a residence in the 3300 block of Lexington, where there was signs of a struggle and evidence that linked the disoriented man to the location, police said.
“At this point CPD believes the video is credible and detectives are questioning persons of interest in the case,” police said in a statement.
