Police have arrested and charged a 37-year-old man with wilful damage and assault after footage emerged of a man walking down the centre of the road in Wellington punching wing mirrors off cars.

Police said they received reports of a man acting erratically and causing damage to vehicles on Cuba Street at around 5.45pm Saturday.

Shortly after, they arrested and charged a man with wilful damage and two counts of assaulting police.

He is due in Wellington District Court on 5 May.
