Police were notified about 2.30pm and said they responded immediately.

Officers moved the man and the scooter from the bridge and are now speaking with him.

Lime Scooters have become a common sight in central Auckland and some suburbs, and also in Christchurch.

Auckland Council and Auckland Transport are currently looking into a review to create better safety regulations for the scooters.
