Shia LaBeouf Arrest: Police Release Statement, Claim He Assaulted 2 People as Video Emerges
The police have released a statement on Shia LaBeouf‘s arrest in New Orleans during the city’s Mardi Gras celebration on Tuesday morning (February 17).
If you did not see, the 39-year-old former Disney child star was arrested and will now face two charges of simple battery.
Head inside for the police statement…
“A man identified as 39-year-old Shia LaBeouf was reportedly causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive at a Royal Street business. A staff member attempted to eject Mr. LaBeouf from the establishment. Once removed from the building, the victim reported being struck by LaBeouf who used his closed fists on the victim several times,” police said to E! News.
Police said he left but then apparently returned “acting even more aggressive.”
“Multiple people attempted to hold him down—he was eventually let up in hopes that he would leave—but he reportedly again struck the same victim with closed fists to the victim’s upper body. LaBeouf then reportedly assaulted another person—punching him in the nose.”
He was provided with “treatment of unknown injuries.”
There appears to be video of the fight on TMZ, where an unidentified person is screaming: “We gon’ beat the f-k out you, boy. Chill!”
