Shia LaBeouf has been arrested in New York during a protest against US President Donald Trump.

The actor and artist has been appearing in a live video stream called He Will Not Divide Us since the inauguration of President Trump on Friday.

In the early hours of Thursday, LaBeouf was involved in an altercation at the site of the stream, BBC News reports, citing TMZ .

A member of the public reportedly walked in front of the camera and said something the actor objected to.

LaBeouf then allegedly took hold of the man's scarf. Police said he also pushed the man, who refused medical attention.

The New York Police Department, who have been stationed at the site of the protest since it began, then arrested LaBeouf.

The actor could be seen in handcuffs walking off with a police officer in the live video stream.
