Shia LaBeouf has been released from hospital after a stunt on a film set went wrong, leaving the actor badly cut.

LaBeouf was filming the Andrea Arnold film American Honey in North Dakota when the script required him to put his head through a plate glass window.

The actor made a mistake performing the stunt and severely cut his the left side of his head and right index finger. According to TMZ, which first reported the news, LaBeouf needed 20 stitches and 13 staples in the wounds.

LaBeouf was taken to hospital, treated and sent home. He will return to the film set on Thursday.

The film’s producers said in a statement: “Shia LaBeouf sustained minimal injuries late last night on the set of his current film, American Honey. As protocol, production sought out medical attention and Shia received stitches on his hand and for a laceration on his head. He is due back on set tomorrow.”
