Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf has been taken into custody after an alleged altercation during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, local media reported Tuesday.
The actor received medical attention from paramedics after an incident outside a bar in the French Quarter. It was not immediately clear whether he was being treated for an injury or for drug or alcohol use.
Citing an eyewitness, TMZ reported that the “Transformers” star was escorted out of a nearby bar for unknown reasons, and the alleged fight happened afterward.
Referring to court records, Variety reported that LaBeouf is facing two charges of a simple battery.
The outlet reported that the actor has had a history of erratic behavior and previous legal troubles, including a lawsuit filed against him by FKA Twigs for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit was settled in July 2025.
Previously, LaBeouf was sentenced by the court to rehab following an arrest in Georgia in 2017 for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
In 2025, he appeared in Leo Lewis O’Neil’s documentary ‘Slauson Rec’, which follows the actor as he directs and teaches at an experimental theater company.
The film, which was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, shows LaBeouf berating actors and crew members, provoking a fistfight and engaging in other aggressive behavior.
