Monaco prince hurt in bar brawl

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

Prince Pierre Casiraghi suffered cuts to his face during the brawl.

Former nightclub owner Adam Hock was charged on Sunday with assaulting the prince and three friends at the Double Seven nightspot.

Lawyer Richard Golub, who represents the 24-year-old prince, said the royal was treated at a hospital and released.

Golub says Casiraghi’s group did not “instigate anything” or provoke the attack.

But Hock told the New York Post that the prince and his entourage “were being completely obnoxious,” verbally abusing the women with him.

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