Saracens is investigating reports England rugby star Billy Vunipola has been arrested following an alleged violent incident at a bar in Majorca.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Vunipola’s domestic club Saracens said it was aware of an incident involving the player.<\/p>\n

“We will of course deal with this incident internally, and will not make any further comment until then,” the club statement on X added.<\/p>\n

The bar was evacuated during the alleged incident, according to a report by Ultima Hora.<\/p>\n

Vunipola was taken to hospital for treatment and was brought before a Palma court on Monday, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

The player has since been released on bail pending an ongoing investigation, the Press Association reported – citing local media reports.<\/p>\n

Vunipola is expected to leave Saracens at the end of this season and has previously been linked with a move to France – although nothing has been confirmed.<\/p>\n

He made his Test debut for England against Argentina in 2013 and has won 75 caps. He is not currently part of the England squad.<\/p>\n

Vunipola made an appearance as a second-half substitute for Saracens in their 15-12 victory over Bath on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The club – currently second in the Gallagher Premiership and chasing a sixth league title in the last 10 seasons – are not scheduled to play again until 11 May.<\/p>\n

There are just two rounds of regular season games left before the play-offs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
