Sligh was attacked by two men in a parking lot outside of a Rite Aid on Thanksgiving after telling the men, who were driving recklessly, to slow down. The men purposely hit Sligh with their car, exited the vehicle and proceeded to beat him. After a short stint in the hospital the young actor was sent home to recover with the help of a scooter to get around. 

Love my nieces and nephews so much! Always there for me just like the rest of my family even when I’m gimping around! #family #love #scootinaround #ridindirty

“It was pretty scary [being] on the hood of that car, but I’m happy to still be able to move my neck. I’m happy to have the problem of relearning to walk instead of not being able to walk at all. I’m pretty blessed,” Sligh told The Wrap after his attack.
