"The New Orleans police department confirmed that at approximately 12.45am on Tuesday officers were called to Faubourg Marigny, located next to the French Quarter, the heart of the revelry, where LaBeouf was allegedly becoming increasingly aggressive at Royal Street Inn and Bar. Court documents state that the bar manager attempted to escort LaBeouf out of the bar, during which the actor allegedly tried to hit him."
"Then after being removed, the actor allegedly punched one male patron who was helping the bar manager, before returning and punching a second man in the nose. LaBeouf was then held down by bystanders until police arrived and he was taken to a hospital. He was later discharged, arrested and charged with two counts of simple battery. He is scheduled to make an initial court appearance on Tuesday afternoon, just as the culmination of New Orleans's weeks-long, annual celebration of carnival hits its climax."
"Reports of LaBeouf engaging in unruly behavior across New Orleans have surfaced for several days. Robert Skuse, the doorman of Ms Mae's, a local bar, told the Hollywood Reporter the actor showed up in a somewhat belligerent state. In the middle of the mayhem, he did the Do you know who I am?' bit, Skuse said. LaBeouf was reportedly asked to leave after trying to get behind the bar and serve drinks to customers."
