Nuremberg: Scooter driver turns around in quick pursuit and injures police officer!
A tumultuous incident occurred on Thursday, June 12, 2025, in Nuremberg. There, around 7:00 p.m., the traffic police noticed the driver of a presumably manipulated moped who was racing along Gustav-Adolf-Straße at high speed. The officers intended to check the driver, but he fled.
When the police officers spoke to the driver at a red light, he turned his vehicle around at lightning speed and continued to flee towards Eythstrasse. Despite the attempted arrest, in which a police officer held the man's arm, the getaway driver was able to escape. The pursuit led him to Maiacher Strasse, where he turned around in a dead end. Another officer wanted to intervene again, but the driver accelerated and overthrew the police officer, who sustained minor injuries.

In the region around Stockstadt am Rhein, in the Groß-Gerau district, there was also an escape-like incident involving a moped. Here a police patrol tried to stop a 15-year-old whose vehicle had no license plate. The teenager fled along a federal highway and a parallel dirt road until he fell while trying to get back onto the federal highway. He was also slightly injured and taken into custody by the police because he did not have a driver's license and the moped was not insured. Such scenarios illustrate how dangerous escape maneuvers can be in this traffic situation.
Police checks can be unpleasant for drivers; it is important to remain calm and follow the officers' instructions. Anyone who ignores a traffic stop not only risks fines, but also a certain amount of legal problems. It is therefore advisable to always act calmly during an inspection and to have all the necessary documents ready, as described on the ADAC page clarified.
These incidents show us once again how important road safety is. Your behavior in the event of a police stop can have far-reaching consequences - not least for your own health and that of other road users. It remains to be hoped that such dramatic escapes will occur less frequently in the future.
