It is not known whether the e-scooter was part of MK’s hire fleet or privately owned.
Apart from that, it was a quiet Jubilee Bank holiday for Bucks Fire and Rescue’s Milton Keynes crews, who are based at West Ashland.
Their only other call out was to deal with flooding caused by a bathroom leak caused by a shower fitting in a house on Walnut Tree at 9.17am on Monday morning.
The firefighters used small gear to isolate the water and electricity supply.
