Shia LaBeouf Arrested At Anti-Trump Protest

Shia LaBeouf has been arrested in New York for allegedly attacking a man outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens. The Transformers actor was live streaming his anti-President Trump "He Will Not Divide Us" protest when he got into an altercation with a man many are claiming is a white supremacist.
Detective Pisano of the NYPD says the victim was a 25-year-old male: "For whatever reason, Shia grabbed his scarf that was tied around his neck and head, and pulled him to the ground. The man was left with scratches on his face and red marks around his neck." Shia was charged with misdemeanor assault.
But the protest group's Twitter page claims the man was yelling racist messages and Shia yelled in his ear to silence him. The group describes the man as a neo-Nazi, Tweeting: "Shia was attacked by a Nazi / Shia got arrested / Nazi got away / This is Trump's America."
