Shia LaBeouf has been arrested and charged with public drunkenness, police in Texas say.

Police arrested the actor on Friday night on Sixth Street in Austin's entertainment district.

The actor has had numerous brushes with the law throughout his career.

Witnesses said LaBeouf initially caused a disturbance on Friday after being refused a drink at a bar, and later jaywalked in front of police.

Officers are reported to have subdued him and put him in handcuffs before arresting him.

Jail records quoted by the AP news agency say that he spent Friday night in the Travis County Jail and has now been released.
