Hung told the court that he will be applying for a lawyer through the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme. He will return to court on 25 November.E-scooters were banned from footpaths on 5 November this year, confining riders to 440km of cycling paths instead of the 5,500km of footpaths they could use before.
