Transformers actor Shia LaBeouf has been arrested in Austin, Texas for public intoxication and jaywalking.

According to TMZ, LaBeouf was seen running down the street and crossing the road despite a ‘do not walk’ sign – which is against the law in the US and several other countries.

In a video posted to the site, the 29-year-old is seen in handcuffs as police put him in the back of a patrol car.

Witnesses told the site that he was acting ‘bizarrely’, ignoring police warnings, and had been turned away from a bar in the popular 6th Street area earlier in the evening.

He was booked into Travis County Jail, but later released. The actor was in the city to attend the Austin City Limits music festival.

LaBeouf has had several run-ins with the law recently due to his behaviour. Last year he head-butted someone in a bar in East London, while a fight with his girlfriend Mia Goth was captured on camera and made headlines.

The Independent has contacted LaBeouf for comment.
