Cuba Gooding Jr. is now in touch with police after a bar incident took place in New Orleans.

The LA Times reported that a lawyer for Gooding said the Los-Angeles-based actor is "taking necessary actions" after he allegedly shoved a New Orleans bartender twice early Tuesday morning.

Gooding's attorney in New York, Peter Toumbekis, contacted New Orleans police on behalf of his client Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

Police issued the battery arrest warrant after a female bartender told officers the 44-year-old actor entered a Bourbon Street bar with a group and became "very aggravated" after other customers recognized him and asked for photos, officials said in a statement.

TMZ reported that the New Orleans Police Department has a misdemeanor battery warrant out for the Academy Award winner.

The incident happened at The Old Absinthe House on Bourbon Street around 2:00 a.m.

Police said that Gooding pushed the bartender twice when she asked him to calm down, NBC Today reported.

Gooding allegedly pushed the bartender with an open hand when she asked him to calm down.

One of the bartender's coworkers then called 911 about 3 a.m. Then when the bartender asked him to leave, he pushed her again, a police statement said, and left the bar.

Gooding was in town filming the movie "The Butler" with Oprah Winfrey.
