2 year old very defient at home and daycare

Please help. I don't know what to do with my son.
He is very mean to his 5 year old sister. He will
pull out hand fulls of her hair, bite her every
chance he gets, and pinch. At daycare, they are
ready to kick him out because he bangs his head
over and over when he is mad. He pulls hair to.
My daycare provider said that I should take him to
a doctor because his behavior is NOT normal. I have tried everything I know to do. I have tried
time-outs, talking, spankings and when i spank him he hits me back. He and I have gone at it for
hours at a time. It seems like I am always getting on to him. I am at witts end. Please help.
