Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested early on Thursday after a scuffle outside a New York museum where he was chanting 'He will not divide us' during a live-streamed protest against President Donald Trump, police said. The 'Transformers' and 'American Honey' star allegedly pulled a 25-year-old man's scarf, scratched his face and shoved him at about 12:30 a.m. EST outside the Museum of the Moving Image in the borough of Queens, a police spokesman said. Media reports alleged that the altercation broke out after the man had shouted 'Hitler did nothing wrong' while pretending to take a photograph with the actor, who was raised Jewish. The 30-year-old actor was chanting 'He will not divide us' into a live-stream camera mounted on a wall when the incident took place. LaBeouf and two other artists began the protest on Jan. 20, the day that Trump, a Republican, was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States. They have invited the public to repeat the words into the camera nonstop for the next four years in a 'participatory performance,' according to their website.
