More information about what allegedly transpired prior to Garrett Hedlund’s arrest for public intoxication has come to light.
Hedlund has been accused of attempting to jump out of a car by the man who called the cops on him, according to new legal documents obtained by TMZ.
The man, whose phone call led to his arrest on Saturday, alleged Hedlund, 37, attempted the act earlier that same day.
The individual also alleged Hedlund had kicked him and swung on him. However, police say the man did not want to press criminal charges.

Hedlund, 37, was arrested in Franklin County, Tennessee on Saturday night and later released from custody on a $2,100 bond.
Police say they received a call around 10:30PM for a disturbance with a man alleging Hedlund was banging on the back door of a building, according to the documents obtained by TMZ.
Hedlund appeared intoxicated, reeked of alcohol, had slurred speech and did not follow commands made by officers, according to cops.
Hedlund allegedly told police he was trying to retrieve items he left inside the building.

An investigation conducted by police led them to believe Hedlund was intoxicated and a danger to himself and others.
They placed him under arrest for public intoxication and stated he had caused ‘unreasonable annoyance’ in their report.
Hedlund is currently on three years probation over his previous DUI case, meaning his recent arrest for being intoxicated could pose a problem for the star.
The arrest comes just days after it was revealed that he has now split with girlfriend Emma Roberts, with whom he shares a child, one-year-old son Rhodes.

It’s also days after it was reported that Hedlund is being sued for a car crash that took place on the night of his 2020 DUI arrest.
Hedlund is being accused of crashing into another car – containing a woman and three children – passed out drunk behind the wheel of his Jeep and running a red light.
The family claims that Hedlund – whose blood alcohol on the night in question was twice the legal limit of .08 – attempted to flee the scene without calling an ambulance.
In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the actor’s conduct is deemed as ‘despicable.’

‘Hedlund’s conduct was despicable in that he knew and was educated in the dangers presented to Plaintiffs and the public when he operated a vehicle while intoxicated,’ the complaint read.
The complaint also described the strong odor of alcohol coming from the The Tron: Legacy actor.
‘There was a very strong odor of hard liquor emitting from Hedlund’s breath, body, and the cab of the Jeep despite the windows being open/broken,’ it read.
The complaint went on to say that the star attempted to get rid of ‘open bottles of alcoholic beverages’ present in the vehicle before the police arrived.
The injured family also claims that he attempted to flee the scene and had to have his car keys removed to ensure that he wouldn’t leave.
Sad: The arrest came as the actor was expecting his first child with actress Emma, 30. She went on to give birth to their son Rhodes Robert at the end of 2020
The actor refused a DUI test at the scene of the accident. When he was tested at the station two hours later, his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit.
The family is suing Garrett for damages.
Hedlund was arrested on two DUI offenses in February, 2020. Following the arrest, the actor was arraigned later that month and able to bail out on $100k bond.
The Tron: Legacy actor served a 36-months of probation, according to Los Angeles County Superior Court documents obtained by Page Six.
Hedlund was subsequently assigned three days of community service for one of the counts. The second charge was dismissed.
Additionally he was required to enroll in a nine-month first-offender alcohol and other drug education and counseling program.
