Shia LaBeouf allegedly used a homophobic slur repeatedly during a violent Mardi Gras altercation that led to his arrest in New Orleans, according to a police report obtained by The Daily Mail.

According to the New Orleans Police Department incident report, obtained by The Daily Mail, officers were dispatched to R Bar on Royal Street at approximately 12:45 a.m. on February 17 in response to a reported simple battery involving a man who was allegedly 'causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive.'

In the narrative section of the report, officers wrote that they were informed 'a white male subject was aggressive and struck multiple people' inside the bar. 

Police say LaBeouf was identified as the subject after officers interviewed alleged victims at the scene.

One alleged victim reportedly told officers that LaBeouf became 'irate and aggressive' when a staff member attempted to eject him from the bar. 

According to the report, 'the manager at the location attempted to put him out and Mr. LaBeouf attempted to strike him with a closed fist.'

According to the report, 'multiple people attempted to hold him down until police arrived,' but LaBeouf was eventually released 'in hopes that he would leave.' 

Witnesses alleged he instead 'struck the same victim multiple times with a closed fist in his upper body.'

Jeffrey then claimed LaBeouf put 'a finger in his face' and called him 'a homophobic slur.'
