Sir Rod Stewart and son Sean have agreed a “plea deal” over alleged US fracas

Sir Rod Stewart and his son Sean have agreed to a plea deal following allegations of a New Year’s Eve brawl.

The couple had been charged with simple battery after a security man denied them entrance to a party.

They pleaded not guilty.

Now prosecutors in Florida say the Stewarts’ lawyer has struck a deal to avoid a trial.

The terms of the deal have not been released, reports The Sun-Sentinel.

Florida police said the altercation happened an hour before midnight at a Palm Beach hotel.

Sir Rod and his family were trying to get into the children’s area at the Breakers – but they were refused entry.

A security guard said Sean Stewart stood “nose to nose” from him

He asked the singer’s son to step back, only for him to be pushed backwards.

It’s alleged Sir Rod, 76, stepped in and threw a punch, hitting the guard in the rib cage.

Eyewitnesses confirmed the Stewarts pushed and punched the guard.

And the incident was caught on CCTV.

The police report added that both Sir Rod and Sean, 40, admitted they were agitated when the family was refused entry.

Sir Rod said, however, the security guard became argumentative, which escalated the tense situation.

He apologized for his behaviour in the incident.
