Turf war frostiness melts as ice cream men drop claims

Frostiness between two competing ice cream vendors in Cork City melted yesterday as they each withdrew accusations of being assaulted by their rival.

In the initial accusations made in the case, one of them claimed that the other man reached into his van and pulled his ice cream lever, in a scenario more reminiscent of Tom and Jerry than Ben and Jerry.

It had been stated that the alleged incidents occurred in the context of a highly competitive ice cream van trade in Cork City and turf wars between the two men.
