Actor Shia LaBeouf has been arrested after being accused of hitting two men early Tuesday morning during Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans, police said.<\/p>\n
LaBeouf was charged with two counts of simple battery, New Orleans police said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Officers were called to a business around the French Quarter at about 12:45 a.m. after allegedly \u201ccausing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive\u201d inside, police said. Police did not say what type of business it was.<\/p>\n
An employee tried to remove LaBeouf and once outside, the actor allegedly hit a man \u201cmultiple times with closed fists,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Witnesses told police that LaBeouf left the area but later returned and continued to act aggressively.<\/p>\n
\u201cMultiple individuals attempted to restrain him, releasing him in hopes he would leave,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n
The man who was first allegedly hit by LaBeouf told police the actor hit him again. Another man told officers that LaBeouf also allegedly punched him in the nose.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was held down until officers arrived,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n
LaBeouf was taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown injuries and after being released, he was arrested and taken into custody by police.<\/p>\n
Court and jail records did not list an attorney who could speak on behalf of LaBeouf. Emails to LaBeouf\u2019s publicists were not immediately returned.<\/p>\n
LaBeouf has had several run-ins with the law during his career, including an early 2017 New York arrest for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct that was captured on a livestream video. He was sent to court-mandated rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
Later that summer, he was arrested in Georgia for public drunkenness and accused of disorderly conduct and obstruction, when he was on location filming \u201cThe Peanut Butter Falcon,\u201d and sentenced to probation. In 2020, he was charged with misdemeanor battery and petty theft in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
That year, the English singer and actor FKA Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, also filed a lawsuit alleging LaBeouf was physically and emotionally abusive to her during their relationship, which they settled in July.<\/p>\n
Barnett said LaBeouf put her in a constant state of fear and humiliation, once slammed her into a car, tried to strangle her and knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease.<\/p>\n
LaBeouf apologized in a statement after the lawsuit was filed. He also denied the accusations in the lawsuit in a 2021 filing, saying any injuries done or damages incurred by Barnett were not his doing.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old first gained acclaim as a child for his role on the Disney Channel series \u201cEven Stevens,\u201d and continued working steadily into adulthood. He is perhaps best known for his roles in 2007\u2032s \u201cTransformers\u201d and in 2008\u2032s \u201cIndiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.\u201d<\/p>\n
LaBeouf shares a daughter, born in 2022, with actor Mia Goth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
