Nepo brat Arlo Willner, the 20-year-old offspring of late-night TV royalty, sported a nasty black eye in Manhattan court Thursday when he showed up to answer for a bar brawl that has him facing attempted murder charges.

Willner, sporting a dark suit and tie and a head of ruffled hair — along with a shiner on his right eye — attended the hearing with his mom, Sheila Rogers, an Emmy Award-winning roducer whose credits include David Letterman and James Corden.

He stayed mum during the brief proceedings, where prosecutors revealed they would be presenting the case to a grand jury on June 10.

Willner, who is due back in court July 17, is accused of slashing three men outside Sally’s Bar in Kip’s Bay early Saturday morning, according to prosecutors.

According to a criminal complaint, Willner allegedly went nuts around 3:30 a.m. when the trio shooed him away after he asked them to buy cocaine.

The men told him “this was not the place for that,” the complaint said, and he allegedly pulled out a knife and slashed all three, including a 45-year-old victim who suffered a gash in the neck.

Willner was arraigned on attempted murder and assault charges Sunday and pleaded not guilty.

He was quickly released on bail set at $100,000 cash or a $200,000 bond.

Willner and his mom refused to answer questions on their way out of court Thursday.

His father, the late Hal Willner, was a celebrated music coordinator for NBC’s iconic “Saturday Night Live” before his death in April 2020 from COVID-related symptoms.

Arlo Willner’s birth in 2004 prompted a shout-out from The Post.
