Shia LaBeouf arrested at anti-Trump art installation

London: Actor Shia LaBeouf has been arrested following a scuffle at the site of his protest against new US President Donald Trump in New York.

The "Nymphomaniac" star was taken into custody by police allegedly after a disagreement which involved LaBeouf assaulting a man with divergent political opinions, reported the Guardian.

The 30-year-old actor's 'He Will Not Divide Us' livestream anti-Donald Trump protest has been ongoing since the Republican took office last week.

While it is not clear exactly why LaBeouf was arrested, an earlier video from the event showed a man approaching the actor and embracing him before shouting, "Hitler did nothing wrong".

Another website TMZ claimed that LaBeouf scratched the man and grabbed his scarf.
