The dad-of- five said his children have been left 'scared' by the incident, telling him to 'be careful'. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said they are investigating the attack.
The ice cream seller said he usually serves children leaving school at Hodge Clough Primary School, but he was forced to find another spot on the day of the attack after noticing an ice cream van already parked outside the school.
He then moved on to Blackshaw Lane Primary School, but encountered the same problem there. He finally drove to Woodlands Primary Academy, where he parked to do business.
But shortly after the end of the school day, Mr Ahmed said he noticed two men approaching in his wing mirror brandishing a butcher's knife. He claims his van was 'attacked' while he was still inside it - in front of schoolchildren and teachers.
"My children are scared," he told the Manchester Evening News. "They say to me, be careful." Mr Ahmed also posted about the incident on Facebook, branding it 'absolutely ridiculous behaviour'.
Pictures and videos of the incident show a hooded man dressed in black use an object to smash the van's window, before fleeing.
