Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans following an alleged assault at R Bar in the French Quarter.  According to the police report obtained by TMZ, LaBeouf allegedly struck two men with closed fists during a confrontation and repeatedly hurled gay slurs at them.

The altercation escalated as LaBeouf was escorted from the bar, but reportedly returned in a more aggressive state. One alleged victim told police he did not want to fight, but LaBeouf allegedly punched him in the nose, potentially causing a dislocation.

The victim reportedly pushed his nose back into place and later sought medical attention. During the incident, LaBeouf allegedly continued shouting offensive language, even after police arrived to investigate and make the arrest.
