A 15-year-old boy has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after an alleged incident in Melbourne's CBD on AFL grand final day.

It's alleged the boy, dressed in riot gear with a full-face helmet, drove erratically through the CBD before he was tasered by police around 8am on Saturday.

He was taken to hospital before being charged on Sunday with attempted murder, six counts of reckless conduct endangering life, and assaulting and resisting arrest.

He's due to appear in a children's court at a date to be set.

No one was injured in the incident outside Flinders Street Station, several hours before the grand final.

Acting Superintendent Wayne Newman said on Saturday investigators had no information the teenager was trying to harm anyone.
