One theatergoer tweeted that he saw a tearful Shia outside following the disturbance, surrounded by officers.

The 28-year-old Transformers actor has attracted attention for erratic behavior in recent months. In January, footage of him headbutting a man in a London pub circulated. In February, he wore a paper bag with the words "I am not famous anymore" to a premiere of his film Nymphomaniac in Berlin, and he staged a similar "performance art" piece at an art gallery in LA shortly after. His representatives have yet to comment on the news.
