Man Punched In Face On Subway Because He 'Looks Exactly Like Shia LaBeouf'
Mario Licato, 26, says he was going to see a friend when he was punched in the face out of nowhere. "I just saw a fist coming at my face," Licato tells People. "And the next thing I know I was, like, falling down the stairs and all I heard was, 'That's because you look exactly like Shia LaBeouf.'" Licato says he was "out cold" and got up to find his glasses broken and blood on his face. Witnesses helped him get up and described the assailant as a six-foot "white frat boy." "I was like, 'Am I crazy? Or did he just say that happened because I look like Shia LaBeouf?' And they were like, 'That's exactly what he said," he recalls. Police are checking surveillance from the subway to find the attacker. Licato says if he's ever found, he would ask "'So what did Shia LaBeouf ever do to you that you wanted to punch him in the face? Was it one of his performance pieces?'" "Did this guy steal his girlfriend? Like, what did he do so bad that he wanted to punch somebody that looked like him?"
