England and Saracens star Billy Vunipola was tasered twice and arrested following an alleged violent incident in a Spanish bar, according to reports.

Reports in the Spanish press say police were called to an incident at a bar called Epic in Palma on Sunday at 4:30pm.

The 31-year-old is alleged to have removed his shirt and have been threatening staff and drinkers.

The first taser is reported to have had no effect on the 20 stone England and it was believed that he was tasered again.

Pictures have emerged seemingly showing the number eight in handcuffs and being taken to a nearby hospital.

It has been reported that he has been bailed, pending further investigation.

The police are yet to release a statement on the matter.

Vunipola was born in Australia before the family moved to Wales when he was a child.

He was given a scholarship to the prestigious Harrow School and there he was signed to the Wasps Academy.

The 31-year-old made his England debut in 2013 and has played 75 times for his country.

However, he was not selected for the 2024 Six Nations.
