Shia LaBeouf has been arrested in New York during a protest against US President Donald Trump.
The actor and artist has been appearing a live video stream called He Will Not Divide Us since the inauguration of President Trump on Friday.
In the early hours of Thursday, LaBeouf was involved in an altercation at the site of the stream, TMZ reports.
A member of the public reportedly walked in front of the camera and said something the actor objected to.
LaBeouf then allegedly took hold of the man's scarf. Police said he also pushed the man, who refused medical attention.
The New York Police Department, who have been stationed at the site of the protest since it began, then arrested LaBeouf.
The actor could be seen in handcuffs walking off with a police officer in the live video stream.
What is He Will Not Divide Us?
He Will Not Divide Us is a video stream broadcasting live from the Museum of Moving Image in New York
LaBeouf co-founded the project, which has been running since the inauguration of President Trump on 20 January, with Luke Turner and Nastja Ronkko
The public is invited to deliver the words "he will not divide us" into a camera mounted on a wall outside the museum
Some celebrities, such as Jaden Smith, have already appeared on the live stream
It is a protest against President Trump's presidential campaign and controversial policies
The stream is due to run for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the next four years while President Trump is in office
One fellow protestor was heard saying: "Shia took a hit for us... he came out and tried to protect us."
On Monday, LaBeouf told the Associated Press the public participatory project was not exclusively motivated by President Trump.
"We're anti-division out here. Everyone's invited," the actor said. "I'm just saying, be nice to each other."
