A Saudi prince has been arrested in California for allegedly attempting to force a worker to perform a sex act on him. 

Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of forced oral copulation of an adult as a neighbor claims he saw a bleeding woman screaming for help from the prince's multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills compound.

Los Angeles police were called to the gated community in the 2500 block of Wallingford Drive, Beverly Glen area after a caretaker at the estate reported a 'disturbance', officials said.

When officers arrived, they interviewed Al-Saud's household and escorted some 20 people out of the house, officials said. 

The Saudi prince was arrested and freed on $300,000 bail Thursday afternoon, jail records show. 

In addition to the main sex crime charge, Al-Saud is also facing one count each of battery and false imprisonment,.He is scheduled to appear in court October 19.

The LAPD have confirmed that the 29-year-old, from Saudi Arabia, does not have immunity in this case. 

Neighbor Tennyson Collins told the LA Times that a resident had reported seeing a bleeding woman screaming for help as she desperately tried to climb the 8-foot-high walls on the prince's property.

The Saudi Arabia Embassy in Los Angeles and U.S. State Department were unavailable for comment.

Police said Al-Saud was renting the 22,000-square-foot Beverly Hills property, which is currently valued at $37million.

Neighbor Collins said that the home has been rented out to various foreign nationals in the past year, including one tenant who posted armed guards at the gates.

But until the police arrived at the property Wednesday, he said the biggest disturbance had been the occasional raucous party.

Beverly Hills is fast becoming a playground for the mega rich from the Middle East.

For the past few summers, rich young Saudis, Qataris, Kuwaitis and other Middle Easterners, accompanied by their personal Ferraris, Bugattis and Aventadors, have flocked to the area after their former haunts in Paris, London, Cannes and Monaco became less receptive to the crush of super-expensive supercars with Arabic tags drawing crowds of gaping rubberneckers.

While international travelers accounted for 63 percent of spending in the Golden Triangle last year - with one rich Saudi buying a $27million estate by helicopter without even walking inside, according to the Hollywood Reporter.  

Earlier this month a Qatari playboy fled the United States after police investigated a race through Beverly Hills involving his $1.4million Ferrari. 

Beverly Hills Police said the man who initially claimed diplomatic immunity has now left the country.

Diplomatic immunity is rolled out to select foreign royalty dependent on their dignitary's status in their own country's government and the level of the offense committed abroad. 

Immunity has existed for diplomats and royals more than 50 years and is agreed on by almost every country in the world, even those with frosty international relations such as North Korea.

It was signed into law under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations to ensure diplomats can represent their nation without being harassed by their hosts.

This is particularly essential in countries that criminalize behavior which would be perfectly acceptable at home, and those that prosecute people for political reasons. Diplomatic immunity is often also extended to members of royalty.

There have been occasional abuses of the system - including the fact that diplomats do not have to pay parking fines. But it is extremely rare for immunity to be waived, and it can only happen with the agreement of the diplomat's home country. Some nations refuse on principle, while most reserve the measure only for serious crimes.

Last year, a Venezuelan general wanted in the United States on drug charges and arrested in Aruba was released after the Venezuelan government protested his diplomatic immunity and threatened sanctions if Aruba did not release him.
