Driver under the influence, operating an e-scooter, apprehended by Polish police

In an incident that took place early on Saturday morning, a 29-year-old man from Hagen was arrested by the local police for dangerous E-scooter riding and multiple offences.

The incident occurred at 3:20 AM on Märkischer Ring, where the man was stopped by the Hagen Police for unsafe riding on his E-scooter. Witnesses reported that the man was behaving aggressively, continuously insulting and abusing the police officers.

Upon investigation, it was found that the man had a strong smell of alcohol in his breath and the E-scooter he was riding was not insured. The man refused to take an alcohol test and resisted a body search, leading to the use of handcuffs.

During the checks, narcotics (cannabis) were found and seized from the man. The man called the police officers and the attending doctor "Nazis" during the checks.

The man was taken to a police station for a blood test, where he continued to resist and make insults and threats. Criminal proceedings have been initiated against the man for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, violation of the compulsory insurance law and the BtMG, fraud, insult, threat, resistance to enforcement officers.

The attached insurance plate of the E-scooter was found to be fake. The search results do not provide the name of the man arrested in this incident.
