Saracens is investigating reports England rugby star Billy Vunipola has been arrested following an alleged violent incident at a bar in Majorca.
The 31-year-old was tasered twice by police after arriving at Epic in Palma in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to local media reports.
Vunipola’s domestic club Saracens said it was aware of an incident involving the player.
“We will of course deal with this incident internally, and will not make any further comment until then,” the club statement on X added.
The bar was evacuated during the alleged incident, according to a report by Ultima Hora.
Vunipola was taken to hospital for treatment and was brought before a Palma court on Monday, the newspaper reported.
The player has since been released on bail pending an ongoing investigation, the Press Association reported – citing local media reports.
