Shia LaBeouf was arrested just after midnight on Tuesday in New Orleans where police said the 39-year-old “Transformers” film star assaulted two men in a fight during Mardi Gras.
The actor has previously faced a series of arrests and legal issues, including pleading guilty to a charge of obstruction. Police said he was charged with two counts of simple battery.
Officers were called around 12:45 a.m. to a business on Royal Street where two men reported being assaulted.
A police statement said LaBeouf had been causing a disturbance and growing increasingly aggressive. When a staffer tried to remove him, LaBeouf allegedly struck the man several times with closed fists.
The victims told police LaBeouf left but soon returned and acted even more aggressive. Several people tried to restrain him and briefly let him up in hopes he would leave, but he allegedly hit the same staffer again, punching his upper body. Police said he then punched another man in the nose.
