Shia LaBeouf arrested in New Orleans following violent Mardi Gras altercations

LaBeouf, 39, was reportedly "causing a disturbance and becoming increasing aggressive at a Royal Street business." When a staff member attempted to eject the actor from the establishment, LaBeouf allegedly used "his closed fists on the victim several times," police said.

"The victims reported that LaBeouf left, but then came back, acting even more aggressive."

Multiple people allegedly attempted to hold LaBeouf down outside the business in Faubourg Marigny, and he was eventually let up in hopes that he would leave. 

The "Transformers" actor reportedly struck the same victim again with "closed fists to the victim's upper body" before allegedly assaulting another person by punching them in the nose.

"LaBeouf was again held down until police arrived," police said. "He was taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown injuries. Upon release, he was arrested and charged with two counts of simple battery."

No further information was immediately made available.

LaBeouf's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The "Salvable" star was previously arrested and charged with one count of misdemeanor battery and one count of misdemeanor theft from a theft and battery incident that took place in June 2020. 

At the time, LaBeouf claimed he was more than 600 days sober and was converting to Catholicism after a public fallout following a lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, FKA Twigs where she accused him of sexual battery, assault and the infliction of emotional distress.

"I had been abusive to women, and had been shooting dogs and willingly been giving women STD's," he told the Bishop. "It's disgusting. It's depraved. My mother is embarrassed beyond imagination."

Twigs also claimed LaBeouf kept a loaded gun by the bed and that she was not allowed to wear clothes in bed. She also said he would deprive her of sleep.

In July 2025, Twigs settled the lawsuit against LaBeouf.
