A drunk driver could face up to eight years in prison after taking a Soviet Cold War-era tank for a joyride.

The unnamed driver was arrested after driving the tank through the streets of Pajęczno in Poland earlier this month.

Residents of the area became alarmed as the Soviet T-55 tank, which was at least 60-years-old ploughed down the street on June 12 at around 10pm.

Residents called the police as they believed the driver to be on the attack, but by time officers arrived, he had parked the 40 ton machine.
