This is the chilling moment an ice cream man called Mr Yummy lost his cool with his rival Mr Whippy.

Using an iron bar, an irate Mr Yummy, Zeheer Ramzan, smashed the window of his competitor’s van after he tried to sell ice cream on the same street.

Terrified Mr Whippy, Mohammed Mulla, tried to flee the scene but ended up crashing into Mr Ramzan’s van instead.

Mr Yummy is now facing jail after being found guilty of the assault in Blackburn, Lancashire, last June.

The ice cream ruck was filmed by an onlooker and has over a million views on YouTube.

A court heard how Mr Ramzan, 34, leapt out of his van armed with a car tyre iron and launched into the attack on Mr Mulla, 41.

The father of three was later treated in hospital for arm injuries and glass in his eye.

Witness Mohammed Mobeen Yaseem said: “I heard some shouting and some swearing so I went to the window and the vans were stationary.

“The front vehicle was Mr Yummy and behind was Mr Whippy. I saw the driver of the front van come out.

“He seemed very ­threatening and approached Mr Whippy. He had a tyre iron.

“That’s when I pulled the phone out and started recording.

"He was obviously angry, I couldn’t hear what the commotion was about but there was a lot of swearing going on.

“They were just parked in the middle of the road.”

Ramzan, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, denied the assault but did admit to possessing an offensive weapon and criminal damage to Blackburn magistrates.

He was remanded on bail yesterday and will be sentenced on December 17.
