The “Transformers” star gets to his feet and attempts to hit back but is restrained by a friend who can be heard saying, “You gotta lay low right now!”

LaBeouf, 25, and the other man began arguing inside the bar, TMZ reported. After security kicked them out, the attacker ripped off his shirt and began throwing punches at LaBeouf.

The star’s representative would not comment on the brawl but said that LaBeouf had been a regular patron of Cinema Public House since he arrived in Vancouver to shoot the Robert Redford thriller “The Company You Keep.”
