Rod Stewart is reported to be facing criminal charges in Florida after allegedly punching a staff member at a holiday resort.
The staff member says he was punched in the ribs by the singer during a row on New Year's Eve in West Palm Beach.
Rod Stewart has now been ordered to appear in court on February 5th.
A security guard who was working a private party in the children's area at The Breakers resort told police that when denied access, a group "began to get loud and cause a scene and refused to follow his instructions and leave," according to a probable cause affidavit.
Two female employees who were working the private event told police they witnessed Sean Stewart push the guard and saw Rod Stewart punch him in the chest, the affidavit states. Both women submitted sworn witness statements.
Video footage from the resort depicted the altercation and revealed Sean and Rod Stewart "as the primary aggressors," the affidavit states.
