While Shia recently publically apologised for spitting on the officer's shoe, the action achieved what he wanted it to at the time and he was led away to his own room and given a McDonald's egg sandwich while he calmed down, but was forced to wear a Hannibal Lecter restraint mask.
Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he added: "So I spit on his shoe and I'm looking at him, and it was [my way out]. He put a mask on me, a Hannibal mask and a lead jacket and ushered me to my private little dwelling where I sat for 25 hours and then they gave me a McDonald's egg sandwich."
Shia recalled being drunk earlier in that eventful evening while watching a World Cup soccer game in Times Square and engaging in a conversation with a homeless man who later ran off.
The Transformers star ran after the guy and later returned to the bar to pay his bill when a fan who starred in Cabaret offered him a ticket to the show.
While watching the performance, Shia claims star Alan Cumming winked at him so when the actor walked past him he slapped his butt "because I think he deserves it".
Recalling the incident, he said: "He's seducing me. He's the sexiest man I've ever seen ... I slapped and grabbed him. I grabbed his whole cheek because I wanted the party right here in my pants.
"He finds a way to wiggle out of my Hercules grip and I'm a little disappointed about it so I think it's about time to have another cigarette."
Shia, who has recently undergone treatment for an alcohol problem, was later ushered outside the theatre to find six police officers waiting to arrest him.
He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in September but a judge ruled his plea would be dismissed and he would avoid both jail time and probation if he had treatment for another three months and stayed out of trouble for six.
