Shia LeBeouf was back protesting Donald Trump on Thursday - after being taken away in handcuffs from his livestream demonstration against the president.

The actor walked hand-in-hand with his mother, Shayne Saide, from his hotel to the outdoor camera in Queens, New York, where he is carrying out his 'He will not divide us' protest.

But he declined to speak to DailyMail.com, instead launching into a series of f-words.

Support: La Beouf had his wife Mia Goth at his side as he sat outside his hotel in Queens

The 30-year-old reportedly became embroiled in an altercation with another protester

He had been arrested by police in New York at 3.45am on Thursday morning.

The 30-year-old allegedly grabbed a fellow protester outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, and now faces a misdemeanor assault charge.

Police say LaBeouf pulled the scarf of an unidentified 25-year-old man this morning, scratching his face in the process.

Police say he also pushed the man, who refused medical attention.

According to local reports, the protester had said something to the camera LaBeouf did not agree with.

The actor was taken to the 114th Precinct, in Queens.

A spokesman for the Queens District Attorney told DailyMail.com he was given a desk appearance ticket by police, and will be back in court on April 7, 2017.

The charges pending against him include third-degree assault, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine of up to $1,000.

He is also facing second-degree harassment, a violation punishable by up to 15 days in jail or a fine of up to $250.

LaBeouf was released from the precinct on his own recognizance at around 3:45 am on Thursday, the New York Post reported.

He walked out shouting 'he will not divide us' to a group of waiting fans.

A spokesman for the museum told Daily Mail: ' There have been some incidents of hate speech. As an institution devoted to inclusion and diversity, and as a site for everyone, the Museum condemns hate speech in all its forms.

'Out of concern for the safety of all participants, Museum visitors and staff, and the surrounding community, we are monitoring the situation in partnership with local law enforcement.'

He returned to his on-camera protest in the middle of Thursday morning, then met his mom, and walked with her and his wife Mia Goth.

He took his mother for lunch at a Mexican restaurant, wearing the same red beany hat he was seen in when he was led away in handcuffs by police.

For the first few days of Donald Trump's presidency, the actor has been repeating the words 'He will not divide us' into a live camera mounted on a wall outside a New York City museum.

He has been joined everyday New Yorkers chanting and singing along.

The camera has several times shown LaBeouf shouting at far-Right agitators who have approached him chanting neo-Nazi slogans.

The livestream from outside the museum in Queens is for a participatory public art project LaBeouf and two collaborators intend to have running for the duration of Trump's presidency.

LeBeouf has been a frequent presence in front of the camera wearing the same blue jacket and red hat

The camera went live the morning of the inauguration, along with a website inviting the public to show up and repeat the phrase any time of the day or night.

LeBeouf has been a frequent presence in front of the camera wearing the same blue jacket and red hat.

On Inauguration Day, actor Jaden Smith, the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, led the crowd reciting the chant.

Speaking earlier in the week, the actor said: 'We're anti-division out here. Everyone's invited.

'I'm just saying, 'Be nice to each other.''

Jason Eppink, curator of digital media at the museum, said the project was about 'creating a forum for conversation about a very fractured moment that we're experiencing.'
