A ONE-MAN-ARMY rumbled through the streets of Poland last week invading a small town while hammered — with a Soviet tank.
The 36 tonne T-55 tank barrelled through the streets of Pajęczno at around 10pm last Thursday night.
The 36 tonne T-55 tank barrelled through the streets of Pajęczno at around 10pm last Thursday night.
Furious (and possibly terrified) locals called the cops to stop the war machine menacing the roads.
When police did arrive, the 1940s tank parked up on a central street, Twoje Pajęczno reports.
Officers arriving at the bizarre scene on Mickiewicza Street found a man standing next to the tank who had been a passenger.
They also found an intoxicated 49-year-old bloke nearby — who had been driving the T-55 when reports were made to the authorities.
It transpired that the man had been given permission to drive the tank — but he was only supposed to have placed it on and off a trailer for transportation.
But he decided to rag it around a small town in the middle of the night instead.
The drunk driver's situation got even worse when police found the tank wasn't even insured.
Cops couldn't clear the massive machine off the road until 5am when a former soldier who could drive the tank was called in to get it loaded onto a tow truck.
It turns out the whole fiasco started when the trailer the tank was being moved on broke and had to be fixed.
While it was being repaired, the boozed-up driver decided to take the tank for a spin instead of just loading it back onto the trailer as he was supposed to.
