contents We consider a static, spherically symmetric space-time with an electric field arising from a quadratic metric-affine extension of General Relativity. Such a space-time is free of singularities in the centre of the black holes, while at large distances it quickly boils down to the usual Reissner-Nordström solution. We probe this space-time metric, which is uniquely characterized by two length scales, $r_q$ and $\ell$, using the astrometric and spectroscopic measurements of the orbital motion of the S2 star around the Galactic Center. Our analysis constrains $r_q$ to be below $2.7M$ for values $\ell<120 AU$, strongly favouring a central object that resembles a Schwarzschild black hole.
