The man, driving a white hatchback reversed into the BNZ Bank branch on Camp St several times before stepping out of the car to inspect his damage.
Police were called to the scene about 11.45pm, and arrived just as the car sped away.
A video by witnesses shows the man, wearing shorts with a red-and-black chequered blanket draped over his head, stepping out of the car while onlookers look to confront him.
