Street brought to a standstill when man dressed as Superman attacked his car with a pole

A man wearing a Superman costume stopped traffic on Chapel Street in Melbourne, Australia, on Monday afternoon.



Dressed to fight crime but showing little regard for the law, he brought the street to a standstill at about 2.40pm, bashing his own car with a pole and smashing its windows in.



A witness said six trams were halted, while bystanders were unwilling to approach the costumed hero, who looked “a bit freaky”. Traders say the man had been seen driving up and down Chapel Street in the past few days.



After he finished taking out his superhuman anger on his vehicle, the man took his keys and threw them up on a nearby roof – leaving the car immovable. Police were called and man was taken to hospital for assessment. His car was towed away.
