England rugby star Billy Vunipola has released a statement after he was arrested and tasered twice during his arrest at a Spanish bar. He was then taken to nearby Son Espases Hospital and has since broken his silence on the matter for the first time.
In a statement made via the BBC, Vunipola said: “I can confirm I was involved in an unfortunate misunderstanding when I was leaving a club in Mallorca on Sunday, which got out of hand.
“Contrary to media reports, there was no violence, no fight and I did not threaten anybody at any stage with bottle or chairs or anything else. I was charged with resisting the law and, following an ‘express trial’, I have paid a fine of €240.
“The Spanish police investigation is now closed, and I am flying back to the UK today. I will obviously cooperate with the Saracens internal process and unreservedly apologies for any inconvenience to all involved.”
