The police were called on Tuesday night (local time) about an attack on two men. LaBeouf caused a disturbance in an unspecified facility. An employee tried to expel the actor from the restaurant. LaBeouf then hit the man several times with “clenched fists” and later hit another person in the nose. The actor was later taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown injuries and was arrested after his release.
The “Transformers” star is always making a name for himself with scandals. His ex-girlfriend, British musician FKA Twigs, sued him in 2020 for physical and emotional abuse. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in September. La Beouf admitted hurtful behavior, but denied the specific allegations. (sda/dpa)
