The statement went on, "Investigators say 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."
LaBeouf was reportedly held down until police arrived on the scene, at which point he was taken to the hospital for unknown injuries. Following his release from the hospital, LaBeouf was arrested and charged with two counts of simple battery.
Days before the incident, LaBeouf had also posted an image of himself in Mardi Gras beads. Both posts were the actor's first since December.
