NEW YORK (AP) — Police have arrested a man in connection with the death of a man found unconscious in front of a New York City bar that appears in the TV reality series “Mob Wives.”

Police say 23-year-old Stephan Fasano was arrested on charges of manslaughter, recklessly causing the death of a person and assault. It wasn’t clear if he had a lawyer.

Police say Abdou Cisse was discovered unconscious around 3:30 a.m. Sunday at the Drunken Monkey Bar & Grill on Staten Island. The 46-year-old suffered severe head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Cisse was apparently trying to help the bouncer remove unruly patrons when he was punched in the face and knocked to the ground.

Drunken Monkey is home turf to “Mob Wives” star Angela “Big Ang” Raiola.
