Billy Vunipola has described his violent arrest as an ‘unfortunate misunderstanding’ after the England rugby star was tasered by police at a bar in Majorca.
‘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,’ he said in a statement.
‘Contrary to media reports, there was no violence, no fight and I did not threaten anybody at any stage, with bottles or chairs or anything else.
‘I was charged with resisting the law and, following an ‘express trial’, I have paid a fine of 240 euros.
‘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 apologise for any inconvenience to all involved.’
