Overview
- New Orleans police say officers were called around 12:45 a.m. to the 1400 block of Royal Street during Mardi Gras after reports of a disturbance involving two adult male victims.
- According to an NOPD statement, LaBeouf was removed from a Royal Street bar, allegedly punched one man multiple times, left and returned more aggressively, then struck the same victim again and punched a second man in the nose.
- Paramedics treated LaBeouf at the scene and he was taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown injuries before being released and formally charged with two counts of simple battery.
- Video and photos published by TMZ show the actor shirtless as he receives medical attention and is placed in an ambulance, while bar staff told The Hollywood Reporter he had been on a multi‑day bar crawl and was inebriated and belligerent.
- A court appearance was scheduled for Tuesday, and representatives for LaBeouf had not issued a substantive public comment in the immediate aftermath.
