Sean Avery appeared in court yesterday in New York

In February 2019, Avery allegedly deliberately orchestrated a collision, having hit a car blocking the bike lane with his scooter.

The vehicle belonged to Jonathan Shulhof, who is the co-founder of the Ventures company. He was accompanied by the daughter of billionaire Henry Kravis.

The TVA Sports website reports that the former NHL player wanted to represent himself, but a judge made him change his mind.
