A French delivery driver was found eating his cargo after he half-surbmerged his rental car in a 94-year old fountain celebrating his country's war efforts.
NSW Police were called to Sydney's Hyde Park around 3am on Wednesday following reports a car had crashed into the Archibald Fountain.
Officers assisted the driver out of the vehicle, which had its back wheels submerged in the fountain and front wheels in the air.
The 21-year-old driver is a French national who arrived in Australia two weeks ago on a working visa, according to police.
He was working a shift as a fast food delivery driver when he reversed into the fountain and became stuck, police say.
"The only reason why we know that is because he was eating the food when police arrived on scene," Inspector Anderson Lessing said.
