Overview
- New Orleans police say LaBeouf was removed from Ms Mae’s, punched one man multiple times, left, then returned and struck a second person before receiving medical treatment and being arrested after hospital discharge.
- Video published by TMZ shows the actor shirtless being treated by medics and sitting in an ambulance, and a later clip reported by outlets depicts him delivering a headbutt during the confrontation.
- LaBeouf was released from custody the next day, posted the message “Free me” on X, and was photographed back at Mardi Gras events and local bars.
- Two men who reported being attacked allege he used homophobic slurs; the phrase appears in an early police document cited by media but is absent from the department’s official statement, leaving the allegation disputed.
- A March 19 court date has been reported by multiple outlets, and coverage notes his recent move to New Orleans and prior legal and treatment history tied to alcohol and public disturbances.
