Monaco prince gets beat up at a New York nightclub

Monaco Prince Pierre Casiraghi wound up in a hospital yesterday morning after a "vicious" brawl at a New York nightclub, according to the NY Post.

The 24-year-old prince was allegedly assaulted by former club owner 47-year-old Adam Hock.

Members of Hock's entourage told the Post the prince and his entourage “were being completely obnoxious,’’ insulting the models and swigging from a $500 bottle of vodka on Hock’s table.

The party took place at Double Seven in the Meatpacking District.
