Horrified onlookers told Wales Online they had to “triple take” as the incident unfolded at around 2pm on Wednesday.
CCTV showed the motor crawling through heavy traffic as a man sits on top.
The video clip also shows how the windshield has been smashed.
Cops confirmed the 74-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of assault.

“The 74-year-old male driver of the car was arrested on suspicion of assault and is currently at Cardiff Bay police station.
