"Many Photos" - Young man fighting for life after falling off illegal electric scooter in London suburb

A MAN has been left battling for life after falling off his electric scooter in London last night.

He was rushed to hospital by air ambulance shortly before midnight last night – just days after a YouTube star died riding one in South London.

The man was critically injured on Bridge Approach in Primrose Hill, London

Cops have launched an appeal to identify the man, who was found unconscious on Bridge Approach in posh Primrose Hill.

YouTube star and TV presenter Emily Hartridge, 35, became the first person in the country to be killed while riding an e-scooter when she was struck by a lorry in Battersea, South London, earlier this month.

The following day a 14-year-old boy suffered a serious head injury after crashing into a bus stop in Beckenham, South East London.

COPS DON’T KNOW WHO HE IS

Scotland Yard are finally cracking down on the scooters – with 100 users caught using them on public roads in less than a week.

Ten reckless riders were fined and had their scooters seized in the crackdown.

Chief Superintendent Colin Wingrove, head of roads and transport policing at the Metropolitan Police, said: “It’s important when these things happen that we do make sure the public are fully aware of the risks associated with the use of e-scooters.”

Mr Wingrove led an operation at a busy junction in Islington, north London, on Friday morning.

At the junction, the officers stopped and issued warnings to three riders, with others received fines for aggravating factors such as travelling too fast or ignoring a red light.

Under the Highway Act 1835, e-scooters are banned from being ridden on pavements while the Department for Transport (DfT) says it is an offence to use them on roads as they do not comply with motorised vehicle requirements such as insurance, tax and driver testing.
