LOS ANGELES: A Saudi prince has been arrested on charges of trying to force a worker at a Beverly Hills estate to perform oral sex, Los Angeles (LA) police said on Thursday.

Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, 28, was arrested on Wednesday and was released on $300,000 bond the next day, according to police and online jail records.

The LA Police Department's (LAPD) special consul division said the prince does not have diplomatic immunity, according to the LA Times and KCBS-TV.

The LA Times said police descended on the massive estate after a neighbour saw a bleeding woman screaming for help as she tried to scale the property's surrounding wall on Wednesday.

The $37 million home, in one of the most exclusive enclaves in the world, has been rented for weeks at a time by foreign nationals over the past year, the neighbour told the Times.

The prince is expected to be in court on October 19, court records show.

Attempts to reach him by telephone were unsuccessful and his attorney was not immediately known.

A call to the Saudi embassy was not immediately returned.
