Shia LaBeouf Punched In His Crystal Skull During Bar Fight
24-year-old actor Shia LaBeouf was "briefly arrested" early on Saturday morning following a brawl at Sherman Oaks bar, reports KTLA. LaBeouf was reportedly at Mad Bulls Tavern on Ventura around 1 a.m. when he got into a verbal altercation that turned physical.
"Witnesses claim LaBeouf was punched in the face before police arrived on scene," reports KTLA, and the actor who frequents the popular establishment, was "briefly placed in handcuffs along with several other crowd members."
Said Mad Bull's Tavern owner Richard DiSisto in a statement to Us Magazine, "It was just boys being boys. Things got really out of hand and it didn't have to go down the way it did," No charges were filed and LAPD had no comment or records of arrests being made.
