Actor and performance artist Shia LaBeouf has been charged with misdemeanor assault and a harassment violation after getting in a scuffle during an anti-Trump rally early on Thursday morning. LaBeouf was arrested and has been released, according to New York Police Department spokesman Sgt. Thomas Antonetti.
LaBeouf and a 25-year-old anti-Tump protester got into a verbal exchange in front of the Museum of the Moving Image, and police say LaBeouf pulled on the man’s scarf, scratching his face while doing so.
LaBeouf is planning to protest US President Donald Trump for the next four years with an art exhibit that will run continuously outside the museum.
