Shia LaBeouf arrested at his anti-Trump art installation

Shia LaBeouf has been arrested at the site of his anti-Trump art installation in New York, following a fracas with another man.

The 30-year-old actor has been protesting the election since the day of Trump’s inauguration, with a live camera feed running 24-hours a day from outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens.

He has promised to keep it running for the entire length of Donald Trump’s term, but was taken away by police yesterday.

According to #HeWillNotDivideUs Twitter feed, he was arrested after a man approached him to pose in front of the camera, before saying ‘Hitler did nothing wrong’.

LaBeouf is then seen to shove the man, which is what’s thought to have led to the arrest and his detention at the 114th precinct.

Though the details of the incident are not clear, posts on the installation’s Twitter feed claim that Nazi sympathisers had turned up at the site and clashed with protesters.

According to the feed, LaBeouf now been released from police custody.

It’s the second incident of alt-right Trump supporters turning up, with LaBeouf clashing with another man on Sunday.

The star was seen shouting the protest’s slogan ‘he will not divide us’ in the man’s face.
