Rod Stewart reportedly got into a fight at the Breakers on New Year's Eve
PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — Rod Stewart allegedly punched a security guard during a kids party at the Breakers, according to Palm Beach police.
Police say everything began when the security guard saw a group of people near the check-in table of the private party who were trying to get in, but were unauthorized to do so.
The group began to get loud and cause a scene, police said. Sean Stewart, Rod's 39-year-old son, then got about "nose to nose" with the security guard, prompting him to put his hand on his chest and telling him to back up and make space.
Sean Stewart then shoved the security guard backwards, according to police. Rod Stewart then punched the security guard in his "left rib cage area."
Two witnesses, who are employees for the Breakers, told police they saw Sean Stewart push the security guard and Rod Stewart punch him.
Both Sean and Rod Stewart are facing simple battery charges and were issued notices to appear in court on Feb. 5.
