Shia LaBeouf has been issued a new warrant related to his February 17 bar brawl arrest in New Orleans.
While celebrating Mardi Gras, the ex Disney star, 39, got into a late-night altercation that led to his arrest.
On Friday sources told WWL Louisiana that the warrant involves an additional victim from the same fight.
Eyewitnesses previously alleged LaBeouf became increasingly aggressive at a business and was escorted out by staff, at which point he allegedly struck one man multiple times with closed fists.
It comes after LaBeouf posted a $100,000 bond on Thursday after making a court appearance.
He is now required to check into rehab and undergo regular drug and alcohol testing.

Before Thursday's hearing, New Orleans Criminal District Court Judge Simone Levine ordered LaBeouf to take a drug and alcohol test, which Levin said found 'evidence of past substance use in the actor’s system.'
Per Nola.com, Levine said 'LaBeouf is taking a prescription that could be responsible for one of the substances found in his system' and that her biggest concern is his alcohol use.
His attorney Sarah Chervinsky denied there were any illegal drugs in his system, saying the test showed evidence of past alcohol use.
She added that it is 'not illegal to get drunk on Mardi Gras.'
According to the New Orleans Police Department, officers were called to Royal Street in the French Quarter around 12:45am following reports of a disturbance involving two adult male victims.
Court records show LaBeouf was arrested and booked on February 17 on two counts of simple battery and released on his own recognizance.
LaBeouf allegedly used a homophobic slur repeatedly during the Mardi Gras altercation, according to a police report obtained by The Daily Mail.
This week Judge Levine slammed him for his alleged use of the derogatory term against a 'marginalized community' that has faced so much 'terror' already.

Authorities said the Mardi Gras situation escalated when LaBeouf returned to the scene and allegedly assaulted the same victim again before punching a second man in the nose.
Witnesses reportedly attempted to restrain him until police arrived.
LaBeouf was taken to a hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries before being booked into Orleans Parish Prison.
He was charged with two counts of simple battery.
In a statement provided to Daily Mail, the police said: 'At approximately 12:45am on February 17, 2026, NOPD officers were called to the 1400 block of Royal Street in response to a simple battery where two victims (two adult males), reported being assaulted.
'Investigators say a man identified as 39-year-old Shia LaBeouf was reportedly causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive at a Royal Street business.
'A staff member attempted to eject Mr. LaBeouf from the establishment. Once removed from the building, the victim reported being struck by LaBeouf who used his closed fists on the victim several times.
'The victims reported that LaBeouf left, but then came back, acting even more aggressive.'
