The actor made headlines last week for his art installation.

Shia LeBeouf was arrested early Thursday after he allegedly assaulted a man outside a museum in New York.

The actor turned heads earlier in the week for creating an art installation to oppose Donald Trump’s presidency.

The art said which reads ‘he will not divide us’ caused controversy among some Trump supporters. The installation also has a camera in place where people are encouraged to speak into using the phrase on the wall.

He reportedly aims to run the campaign for the next four years – or as long as Trump is in office.

TMZ reported that Shia was arrested after he grabbed for the man’s scarf, and allegedly scratched him in the process.

The New York Daily News reported the actor was charged and then released Thursday.
