‘I think the driver must have come up Hall Street, turned left at the pedestrian crossing and assumed there was a car park down there or something, so they’ve turned and landed on the stairs,’ he said.
‘It must have just happened when I got there because the guys from Harris Farm were surrounding the car and putting crates around it to stop people from using the stairs.’
‘But there was no driver around and no cops.
‘People were standing around taking photos – some were angry that the car was in the way, but others were laughing.’
Mr Wiesman also explained it was an ‘unusually quiet’ morning, and there were hardly any other cars or pedestrians around at the time.
‘It was a bit of a weird situation,’ he said, adding that the driver didn’t show up even when the car was towed.

The vehicle appeared to be unscathed.
A Harris Farm Market spokesman told Daily Mail Australia the accident was caused by ‘driver error’.
‘The car was towed by the NRMA and no one was hurt.’
