Harlequins and England scrum-half Danny Care has been arrested for the third time in three months for being drunk and disorderly.

The 25-year-old was detained by a member of the British Transport Police at the Queens Hotel in Leeds for urinating outside the building in the early hours of Sunday.

"After an evening out with friends in the centre of Leeds, after a long time queuing, I was in a taxi home when I got caught short and asked the taxi driver to pull over so I could relieve myself behind a nearby building," the Daily Mail quotes Care as saying.

"The British Transport Police found me doing that and took me to the nearest police station where I was released with a caution.

"I understand the link that will be made to previous offences but, as with my fine in December in Weybridge, the issue is more one of a small bladder than excessive drinking. I am working hard on and off the pitch to overcome my issues and while this is another small setback I will continue to do that."

Care was dropped from the England squad for a previous drink-driving offence on New Year's Day and later fined £3,100 and banned from driving for 16 months.
