Police received a deluge of calls to triple zero as a car drove erratically between 4.30pm and 5.10pm across the city.
Police believe the white Holden Astra crashed into dozens of parked cars, as well as cars stopped in traffic, while driving through Templestowe, Eltham, Lower Plenty, Yallambie, Viewbank, Rosanna, Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Alphington, Fitzroy, North Carlton and Parkville.
A 23-year-old man from Wonga Park was arrested in Princes Park, Fitzroy North. He was interviewed, but released pending further inquiries.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said it was "too early to say" if charges would be laid against the man.
She said some victims whose cars had been hit had come forward, but police believed there was still a large number of motorists who had not yet reported damage to their cars.
Melbourne Highway Patrol is calling for witnesses and victims to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via crimestoppersvic.com.au.
