SHIA LaBeouf has been arrested again on a third battery charge after getting into a fight at bar while celebrating Mardi Gras.

The actor, 39, was first arrested on February 18, after allegedly punching two men outside a bar in New Orleans in a boozy, days-long bender.

Cops then issued a new warrant for his arrest on Saturday after a third victim came forward from that same fight and he was booked into Orleans Parish county jail at 1:48 pm, sources told WWL-TV.

He was then held at the Louisiana Orleans Justice Center, inmate records showed.

The arrest came at the same time the actor broke his silence on the bar brawl, claiming he has a “complex” rather than drinking issues after a judge ordered him to attend rehab and submit weekend drug tests.

Speaking on “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan” which was published on YouTube on Saturday, the troubled actor gave a homophobic excuse for the fight.

“I don’t think I have a drinking problem. I think I have a small man complex. Some kind of Napoleonic…something that has to do with anger and ego more so than my drinking,” he said.

“Gay people are scary to me. When I’m standing by myself and three gay dudes are stood next to me touching my leg, I get scared.

“I’m sorry. If that’s homophobic, then I’m that.”

When Callaghan asked him if that happens a lot, LaBeouf said it was that one time “that’s why I got arrested,” he said.

“I am wrong for touching anyone ever and that’s the end of my statement on this whole s***.”

Following his initial arrest, New Orleans Criminal District Court Judge Simone Levine ordered a $100,000 bond for the actor, which he has paid, on the condition that he attends rehab and undergoes regular drug and alcohol testing.

The judge highlighted her ongoing concern that the Transformers star poses a continued threat to victims and the wider community, especially referencing the alleged homophobic slurs he shouted during the brawl.

Judge Levine said he posed a particular threat to a “marginalized community” that has already faced enough “terror.”

Video of the fight that he allegedly started outside R Bar in the early hours of the morning shows LaBeouf shoving someone to the ground, punching another, and pushing a third individual.

Bystanders attempted to calm down the situation as he removed his shirt.

At one point during the shocking incident, Shia allegedly yelled: “These f****ts put me in jail. I’m a Catholic.”

He was booked into the Orleans Parish jail and slapped with two counts of simple battery after cops day he punched two men and dislocated one man’s nose.

The latest battery charge is from this third victim who was allegedly headbutted in the nose by the actor after trying to break up the fight, according to WWLTV.

One of the victims said in a police report obtained by AP that the actor “became irate and aggressive throughout the night” and “just got nuts.”

The entertainer who said he was wearing make-up at the time of the attack, claimed that he thought his appearance was a motive for the incident.

“That’s just somehow something that set him off, angered him and gave him a direction for his anger,” he said in the report.

“This guy wants me to be dead because I wear makeup. It’s a screwed up thing.”

At his hearing on Thursday, the judge repeatedly stated that she does not feel LaBeouf is taking his punishment or the incident, seriously based on his behavior post-release.

Hours after his release from jail, he was back on Bourbon Street where he has repeatedly visited since the incident.

Meanwhile, his YouTube interview comes as he has reportedly been hit with a third simple battery charge as a result of that same fight on February 18.
