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.

But Hock tells the New York Post the prince and his entourage "were being completely obnoxious," verbally abusing women with him.

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

Ah, the rich and famous involved in a common street brawl. You got the money, why frequent a dive to gain a little notoriety. Getting your princely face mauled isn't my idea of fun night out! You got the money stay out of my bailwick.

Why does the Star-Advertiser think this is news? It happened in New York City, 6000 miles from here, to someone we know nothing and care nothing about.
