Security intervened and "[t]wo security guards led Shia out holding his hands behind his head." Once he was out of the club, the source says LaBeouf "fell onto a barricade. Swearing, he picked himself up and ran off." The actor's rep denies any incident and that he was removed, saying the actor "left the club early as planned...exiting through a crowded room was apparently misinterpreted. No altercation occurred."
