Shia LaBeouf in brawl with Marliyn Manson entourage

Transformers star 'thrown out of LA club after spitting water at Marliyn Manson entourage'

Shia LaBeouf was allegedly thrown out of an LA nightclub on Friday for 'spitting water at friends of Marliyn Manson', before getting into a physical fight with one, reports say.

The transformers actor, who previously hit headlines for fighting with revellers in a California bar and was arrested for DUI in 2008, is said to have suffered a 'public meltdown' during a night out at The Box club.

After an altercation with Marilyn's friends, who were seated at a table near by, LaBeuof apparently began spitting water at them.

'Shia picked up a water bottle and shot a mouthful of water all over his seated date's (girlfriend Karolyn Pho) legs,' a source told Life & Style.

'Then he put more water in his mouth and started spitting it all over his tablemates, including Marilyn Manson. He seemed wasted.'

LaBeouf later had to be restrained by security as the incident escalated.

'Everything seemed to be fine and everyone was having a great time,' an eyewitness told E!. 'All of a sudden, you saw someone go flying at someone else and security jumped in to break it up.

'Security pinned his hands behind his back and forced him out. His girlfriend was really upset and running behind him. I think the worst part for him wasn't getting escorted out, but that he fell to the barricade outside on the red carpet and he was on the ground. It was all really dramatic.'
