A drunk man drove an e-scooter onto a motorway in Cologne.
A courageous driver stopped the 20-year-old on Thursday night at a ramp on the A59 on the acceleration lane, the police said.
The man tried to escape by jumping into the bushes - but without success.
Policewomen arrested him and took him to a highway station.
An examination revealed a blood alcohol level of almost 1.3 per thousand.
Father picks up son
The man's father, who was notified by the police, was allowed to take his son with him after paying a security deposit of 600 euros.
The rental company picked up their e-scooter with a van shortly after the incident.
