New York - Shia LaBeouf was arrested on Sunday after driving drunk which lead to a car accident.

He was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre and treated for injuries to his head, left hand and knee including surgery for his hand.

"Attorneys for LaBeouf confirm that an automobile accident involving an additional party occurred early Sunday morning in Los Angeles," said Melissa Kates in the statement issued Sunday evening.

"Shia is currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of "Transformers 2" within one month. No further comment will be issued at this time."

The passenger riding alongside LaBeouf and the driver in the other car involved weren't badly injured leading to LaBeouf being charged with misdemeanour DUI.
