Ice cream man involved in holiday park stand-off says he was "trying to earn money"

SWNS

This footage shows holiday park security staff involved in a stand-off with an ice cream man - who says he was just "trying to earn money".  Salih Kadi, a Herne Bay resident of 24 years, says he felt “intimidated” after a van and tractor were used to block him at Seaview Holiday Park in Whitstable, Kent.  But the park says Mr Kadi is not an authorised supplier and has been prohibited from selling there.  The video recorded by the ice cream man shows him confronting workers at the seafront caravan site, who he says arrived while he was serving children.  A white Citroen van, a New Holland tractor and another vehicle towing a trailer can be seen obstructing his route through the car park.
