Officers were called to a business in the French Quarter at about 12.45am on Tuesday.
Police said an employee tried to remove LaBeouf and once outside the actor allegedly hit a man “multiple times with closed fists”.
Witnesses told police that LaBeouf left the area but allegedly later returned and continued to act aggressively.
“Multiple individuals attempted to restrain him, releasing him in hopes he would leave,” police said.
The man who was first allegedly hit by LaBeouf told police the actor hit him again. Another man told officers that LaBeouf also allegedly punched him on the nose.
“He was held down until officers arrived,” police said.
LaBeouf was taken to hospital for treatment for unknown injuries and after being released he was arrested and taken into custody by police.
