NEW YORK — Police say actor Shia LaBeouf has been taken out of a New York City theater for being disorderly and causing a disruption.

It happened Thursday night at Studio 54 in Manhattan during a performance of the Broadway show Cabaret.

A spokesman for the show says LaBeouf was "disruptive during Act 1" and was escorted out of the theater at intermission.

The 28-year-old former star of the Transformers franchise was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. He's in police custody and can't be reached for comment. A message seeking comment from a representative for him hasn't been returned.

They should have arrested Shia LaBeouf for his role in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull #boom — David Campbell (@DavidCampbell73) June 27, 2014

Shia Labeouf is currently in NYPD custody for "being disruptive" at a musical. He must've just seen Transformers 4. — Chris Stuckmann (@Chris_Stuckmann) June 27, 2014

There’s one part of this Shia LaBeouf thing I can’t figure out - who did he steal the idea of getting arrested at a Broadway show from? — scharpling (@scharpling) June 27, 2014

LaBeouf has gathered the reputation of a troublemaker in recent years. His recent misdeeds include running away from a Nymphomaniac event after answering just one question, and reportedly angering the cast and crew of Fury with bizarre behavior — including refusing to wash.

Police are continuing to investigate what happened.

LaBeouf's other films include Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Disturbia and Wall Street Never Sleeps.
