\n\tShia LaBeouf<\/a>\u2018s Mardi Gras bar crawl<\/a> has come to an unfortunate end.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor was arrested shortly after midnight Tuesday in New Orleans after he allegedly fought with two men, who told police he assaulted them.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the New Orleans Police Department, LaBeouf was allegedly causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive at a business, which TMZ reported was a bar<\/a>, on Royal Street.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the incident took place at R Bar in the Faubourg Marigny, where on Monday evenings you can get a haircut and a shot for $20.<\/p>\n

\n\tA staff member attempted to eject LaBeouf from R Bar, but after he was removed from the building, LaBeouf allegedly hit one man several times with closed fists.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe then, according to the police report, left but came back, allegedly acting more aggressive.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter multiple people attempted to hold him down, LaBeouf was let up, the police report states, \u201cin hopes that he would leave,\u201d but he then allegedly resumed hitting the same man who he allegedly punched earlier.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe then allegedly punched another person in the nose and was held down until the police arrived.<\/p>\n

\n\tLaBeouf was taken to a hospital for unknown injuries and then arrested and charged with two counts of simple battery.<\/p>\n

\n\tLater Tuesday, TMZ released a video<\/a> that it says was taken before the police arrived on the scene, showing LaBeouf on the ground as someone appears to hit him repeatedly across the face as a group of people tell the actor to \u201cchill\u201d and to \u201ccut that shit out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe arrest comes after LaBeouf, who recently claimed to be sober<\/a> and blamed past abusive behavior on alcoholism, went on an extended-weekend bar crawl<\/a> during Mardi Gras in New Orleans\u2019 Uptown neighborhood, according to employees of various drinking establishments.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe showed up at 24\/7 bar Ms Mae\u2019s, around the time the Bacchus super-krewe parade rolled up St. Charles Avenue with thousands of revelers, in what the establishment\u2019s doorman said was an \u201cinebriated\u201d state and \u201csomewhat belligerent.\u201d He was also without cash or a shirt, putting the latter back on when he was told he had to. He had visited the same establishment on Thursday. But on Sunday, the doorman said, \u201cHe did the \u2018Do you know who I am?\u2019 bit\u201d and begrudingly left without incident after he attempted to \u201cbe a celebrity bartender\u201d and was asked to leave.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother bartender, who waited on him last Thursday, said, \u201cHe is terrorizing the city!\u201d He was spotted at at least two other bars in the city and was telling people he was staying at a luxury Airbnb.<\/p>\n
