Shia LaBeouf was handcuffed and detained by Los Angeles police on the morning of February 6 after a fight broke out at Mad bull’s Tavern, one of his favorite area bars, RadarOnline.com is reporting. The ‘Transformers’ star was at the bar with an entourage of more than 12 people when he became involved in an angry brawl with another patron on the front sidewalk patio.

The other patron is reportedly college student Mark Mastro, who later admitted to RadarOnline that he did call LaBeouf a gay slur and then laughed at him. Mastro added that the actor then physically attacked him. One of the bar’s bouncers held LaBeouf in a head lock before a police car driving past the scene pulled over to intervene.

Mastro was upset with the actor after he first went up to him to tell him he’s a fan of his work. LaBeouf reportedly didn’t want to talk to Mastro, resulting in him antagonizing the star. While LaBeouf wasn’t arrested, this isn’t the first brush LaBeouf has had with police; he was arrested in 2007 for a DUI, and the following year, was infamously apprehended at a Chicago Walgreen’s while drunk.
