The grandson of the late Princess Grace of Monaco has been treated in hospital after a brawl in a New York City nightclub.

...the prince’s face was broken with deep cuts...

Prince Pierre Casiraghi, the son of Princess Caroline, was partying at a New York club on Saturday when he and friends fought with former Manhattan club owner Adam Hock and his entourage.

Mr Hock, 47, was arrested early on Saturday morning and charged with four counts of assault, a New York police spokesman said.

After the fight at the exclusive Double Seven club, in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, the prince’s face was “broken, with deep cuts and blood everywhere”, according to a witness cited by the Post. Another witness said just before the fight erupted, at around 2.30 a.m. (9.30 CET), the prince and his companions had approached Mr Hock's table and “were being completely obnoxious”.

Also punched in the melee was shipping heir Stavros Niarchos III.
