Shia LaBeouf has been filmed in a public confrontation in Rome days after his recent arrests linked to alleged battery offences, drawing renewed attention to the actor’s conduct.
The 39-year-old actor was seen sitting at an outdoor restaurant table when he appeared to address a woman seated nearby before shouting, "F*** off!" The woman remained seated and appeared unfazed by the exchange.

Footage circulating online also shows LaBeouf pacing along a nearby street, raising his voice while bystanders passed. At one point, he bent down to pick up an object from the ground before continuing to walk.
The incident follows recent legal developments involving the actor. He was arrested twice last month in connection with an alleged altercation outside a bar in New Orleans’ French Quarter. Police reports stated that officers responded to a disturbance involving a man who was allegedly "causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive".
LaBeouf was released on his own recognisance following the initial arrest, with a judge later setting bond conditions. Reports indicate he faced two counts of misdemeanour battery linked to the same incident.
The actor was recently granted permission to travel to Italy while out on bail, where he attended his father’s baptism. During his time in Rome, he was also filmed in a separate incident inside a hotel lobby, where he appeared agitated while asking strangers for a light, saying, "Come on bro, give me a f***ing match. You got a match?"
In a separate interaction with police outside his home, LaBeouf was heard saying, "I'm a target," and later became visibly emotional, stating, "I have a f**king three-year-old!"
Representatives for the actor have not yet commented on the latest footage.
