In a dramatic incident that unfolded on Thursday afternoon, a police officer attempted to stop an unidentified moped rider on the B 535 near Mannheim.
At around 4:35 PM, the officer signaled for the rider to stop, but the rider initially slowed down before accelerating and attempting to flee. The suspect, described as male and heavyset, was wearing overalls during the incident.
The moped rider was merging from the L600a onto the B 535 when the chase began.
