Pedestrians run for cover as car races through central Melbourne

A car has caused chaos while racing along Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall, causing pedestrians to jump out of the way, according to witnesses.

A witness told The Age said he had seen a dark coloured car driving at speed along the pedestrian area of Bourke Street Mall, as well as along Swanston streets and St Kilda Road, with police following.

A separate witnesses also posted about the incident on Twitter.

“Someone’s just driven their car up Bourke street and smashed into something. A dozen cops heading after them,” Twitter user Dax wrote.

“The cops were somewhat stymied by a tram who apparently didn’t hear the sirens and blocked the police turn onto Swanston.

“Folks were running in every direction. Inside shops etc,” he wrote.

Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria are yet to confirm details of the incident, including whether anyone has been injured.
