Monaco Prince Pierre Casiraghi Bloodied After Brawl In NYC Bar

NEW YORK -- A grandson of the late Princess Grace of Monaco has been briefly hospitalized after a brawl in a New York City nightclub.

Prince Pierre Casiraghi (cah-zee-RAH'-ghee) suffered cuts to his face during the brawl. Former nightclub owner Adam Hock was arraigned Sunday on charges of assaulting the prince and three friends at the Double Seven nightspot in Manhattan's Meatpacking District.

An attorney who represents the 24-year-old prince tells The Associated Press that Casiraghi was treated at a hospital and released after Saturday's brawl. Attorney Richard Golub says Casiraghi's group did not "instigate anything" or provoke the attack.

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

He was probably marching with the OWS guys and got in an argument with one of them about who has the better Bentley.

HP Please pay attention to your readers' comments. Pierre Casiraghi is not a prince. I'm sure you are fully aware of this but, what the heck, it's a headline grabber, right?

Clovis Clodoveo.
El comentario de mimmi1, difiero de su consideracion. Pues mire Ud. el Sr.Pierre
Casiraghi, si es un principe. A ver, por que. El es hijo de la princesa Carlota de Monaco.
Entonces, si el Sr. Pierre Casiraghi es un principe y tiene todo el derecho que visitar
disco en NYC como cualquier ciudadano comun. Ves que hastga Ud. tiene ese derecho.
Ciao signore.

Should be grummpyed for wrong language. There is another version of the Huff I have actually seen the French Version, It's beautiful. I'm sure the spanish will be just as awesome.

clovis clodeveo

my spanish is very poor - however i think you were implying that he is a prince because his mother is a princess it doesn't work that way in Monaco or in several other countries - his father was a commoner and unless Mr Casiraghi had been given a title upon his marriage to Caroline, his children would not be titled...... same for the children of Princess Anne - they are not titled.

I couldn't understand the rest of your post

Send him home so he can return to his country where he can drink in peace in a car or on a boat. Leave the poor young man alone.
