Sky News Australia reported that driver was of Middle Eastern appearance.
After the white Suzuki SUV crashed into a bollard, a steel safety post meant to insure pedestrian safety, police wrestled down and cuffed the driver around 4:45 p.m. local time., Sky News said.
Witnesses say the vehicle ran through a red light and sped up outside the Flinders Street train station and sped up as it neared pedestrians.
