England No8 Billy Vunipola tasered and arrested in Spain



Saracens and England No8 Billy Vunipola was arrested in the early hours of Sunday morning following a violent incident in Majorca, according to reports in Spain.

Spanish outlet Ultima Hora reported that police rushed to the bar Epic in the Majorcan capital Palma at 4:30 am after a call from the bar’s security staff.

The bar was evacuated by the police, who tried to talk to the 31-year-old, who was shirtless and attacking customers and the security team.

After refusing to cooperate, the police tasered the 128kg No8, but it had no effect. He was tasered a second time, which allowed eight police officers to jump on him and arrest him.

Vunipola was taken to Son Espaces hospital where he was sedated and bound to his bed. He was under the watch of four security guards and several police officers until the medication took effect.

Later on Sunday, he was taken to the Vía Alemán courts in Palma. It has been reported that he has been released on bail.
