- Police, who have seen the CCTV, say it was Rod and Sean who became hostile
- Sir Rod's arrest sheet detailed his arm tattoos, a Scottish lion and a thistle
Sir Rod Stewart's son has blamed an 'aggressive' bouncer who provoked him for starting the scrap that broke out between the guard and his dad on New Year's Eve.
Sean Stewart, 39, alleges that security staff Jessie Dixon, 33, was acting aggressively when 74-year-old Rod jumped in for his son and struck the guard in the chest.
He said that he and the operative squared up to each other at the James Bond-themed event at The Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida and that he was 'sticking up' for his family.
Sean Stewart posted a photo of himself with father Rod Stewart on October 16, 2019, with caption: Love you dad @sirrodstewart #fatherandsonnightout

The father-and-son fighting duo could face a year in jail, the same time on probation or a £760 fine if found guilty of battery at a hearing in Palm Beach in February.
Sir Rod's wrap sheet detailed his Scottish lion tattoo, which sits at the top of his left shoulder, and another of a thistle which is branded on his arm, according to the Sun on Sunday.
Police, who claim to have seen the pair starting the fight on CCTV, said that Rod and his son confronted Mr Dixon after crashing a private event in a children's play area and refused to leave.
The situation became heated and Sean pushed Mr Dixon while Rod bashed him as he tried to balance himself, police said.

Though Mr Dixon declined to comment on its accuracy, a police report indicates that he's planning to prosecute.
Sir Rod, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, said that it was Mr Dixon who riled up the situation.
Sean, who has been in trouble with the law before, said the 'truth will prevail'.
In September 2002, he was sentenced to 90 days in jail and ordered to go to drug rehab after pleading no contest to attacking a man outside a restaurant in Malibu. Then, in 2010, he was arrested for driving with a suspended license.
And, in February 2015, Sean was arrested at Miami International Airport. Police said he jumped onto a luggage carousel after seeing his bag and riding around on the conveyor belt, according to Local 10.

The incident took place at The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. Rod Stewart and his party were said to have been trying to get into a private event that they weren't invited to
Sean was charged with unlawful entry into a restricted area and released the next day after posting bail.
It's unclear if Sean will also face charges, although the arrest/notice to appear documentation lists him as a co-defendant.
Sir Rod has been in hot water with the police before too - in the 1960s, he was arrested three times while participating in sit-ins in London while supporting the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
