“Sir Rod Stewart has been charged by police after allegedly punching a security guard at a hotel in Florida.

“A police report says the altercation occurred after the singer and his companions, including his son Sean, failed to gain access to a private event on New Year’s Eve.

“Sean allegedly pushed the security guard and Sir Rod struck his chest “with a closed fist”, the report says.

“Sir Rod and his son were both charged with “simple battery”.

“The security guard at the Breakers Palm Beach Hotel, named as Jessie Dixon, told officers that he saw a group of people near the check-in table of the private event in the children’s area, trying to enter without permission.

“Mr Dixon told police that the group “began to get loud and cause a scene”, refusing to leave.”
