This post first appeared on The Advocate. Actress Laverne Cox and a friend were attacked by an anti-transgender assailant in Los Angeles’s Griffith Park over the weekend.

Cox and her friend, whom she did not name, were having a socially distanced walk in the park Saturday when they were approached by a man who “very aggressively” asked for the time, she recounted in an Instagram video.
