Bridge e-scooter throws drunken: court judges hard!

In Nuremberg, an incident caused excitement in the spring when the 23-year-old Sandro Z. threw an E-Scooter from the Pegnitzbrücke West when drunk. The 32 -kilogram vehicle fell into a playing area where children and basketball players were active. At the Nuremberg-Fürth district court, the judgment has now been made: the accused received two years in prison for attempted manslaughter, with the sentence being suspended for probation. After eight months of pre -trial detention, the metal builder was relieved.

The incident occurred on April 7, 2024 after Sandro Z. had drunk several vodka. A dispute with his girlfriend about the e-scooter who could not be activated led to escalation. He threw the vehicle about the parapet around 3:15 p.m. in the conviction that nobody was endangered nearby. A blood alcohol test resulted in almost two per thousand. Although the accused claimed not to endanger anyone, the public prosecutor demanded a conviction for attempted manslaughter. His defender, on the other hand, argued that it was only a "dangerous shit action" and not an attempted manslaughter.

consequences and legal assessment

The judges agreed that despite a supposed defense against danger by Sandro Z.’s statement that nobody was specifically at risk, the accused could have had serious consequences. The argument and the impulsive throw of the e-scooter into a busy area raise questions about the responsibility in road traffic and how to deal with alcohol. The Pegnitz Bridge, where the incident took place, is therefore not only remembered as an urban connection, but as a setting for a serious misconduct, which throws both legal and moral dimensions, such as Peprint.de reported.

for Nuremberg and the general discussions about e-scooters and their responsibility, this incident is an urgent example. The courts face the challenge of finding the right balance between individual actions and their potential dangers for third parties, as in other similar cases of thoughtful behavior in public space that made headlines in the past.
