Actor Shia LaBeouf has been arrested in New Orleans following accusations of assaulting two men during Mardi Gras celebrations on the early morning of February 17. The New Orleans police reported that LaBeouf faces two counts of simple assault as officers were called to a venue due to complaints about the actor's increasingly aggressive behavior. The nature of the establishment where the incident occurred has not been disclosed by authorities.

According to police reports, an employee attempted to remove LaBeouf from the venue, but outside, the actor allegedly struck one man multiple times with his fists. Witnesses recounted that after initially leaving the scene, LaBeouf returned and escalated his aggressive behavior. Police noted that several individuals tried to contain him, hoping he would leave the area peacefully, but the situation continued to deteriorate.

This incident marks another chapter in LaBeouf's tumultuous public life and raises questions about his behavior during public events. As Mardi Gras is a significant cultural celebration, this arrest not only highlights the actor's personal issues but also brings attention to the challenges of maintaining public order during large-scale celebrations. LaBeouf's legal troubles may have further implications on his career and public image, which has been under scrutiny in recent years due to various controversies.
