Three men in an ice cream truck briefly carjacked another vehicle during a bizarre rush-hour road rage incident in Queens Friday, cops said.


When the pink-and-white ice cream truck rear-ended a 2001 Honda on 12th St. in Astoria about 8:35 a.m., the ice-cream vendors jumped out and got in a ferocious argument with the 31-year-old man behind the wheel of the Honda, cops said.


The men hit the Honda driver in the head before one of them jumped in his vehicle and drove off in it, officials said.


The Honda was quickly found abandoned a couple blocks away.


None of the three men from the truck has been located, police said.


Investigators were questioning the ice cream truck owner, who was not in the vehicle at the time of the accident.


The Honda driver was not seriously injured and was speaking to cops as well, officials said.
