Court Update After September 3 Scooter Incident in Omaha, Nebraska

A child was taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening leg injury after a motorized scooter crash near 205th and Harrison Streets in Omaha, Nebraska. The case was reported on October 26, 2026.

According to prosecutors, three children were riding motorized scooters on September 3 when a man driving a Jeep followed them. The children moved to get out of the vehicle’s way, but the driver continued following them, prosecutors said.

One child crashed near the entrance to a medical clinic parking lot while trying to evade the Jeep, according to the prosecution’s account. The vehicle then ran over his leg, leaving tire marks on his skin.

Bradley Cooper, 49, appeared in court Monday on charges of second-degree assault, use of a weapon to commit a felony, two counts of terroristic threats, and tampering with evidence.

Prosecutors alleged that Cooper acted intentionally. They also alleged that he tried to avoid detection by hiding the Jeep in his garage and putting different plates on it. Those claims remain allegations rather than findings of guilt.

At Monday’s hearing, Cooper was ordered held on $250,000 bond. His next court date was scheduled for December 4.

Correction — October 28, 2026: September 3, 2026, is the incident date described in the source. October 26 was the court-report date, not a new crash. The headline and structured accident date have been corrected.
