CRAWLEY, England, July 10 (UPI) -- Employees of a Crawley, England, supermarket said they called police after two elderly women began using their mobility carts as bumper cars during an argument.

Workers at the Iceland store said they found the women using their mobility scooters to fight one another after hearing screams coming from their isle, The Telegraph reported Tuesday.

"Seeing these two old ladies going for each other like that was truly disturbing," said a worker who asked not to be named. "They could have been seriously hurt -- they were ramming each other like dodgems."

Police said one of the women was arrested on suspicion of assault after the other suffered an injury to her arm during the confrontation.

A granddaughter of one of the women said the pair had been friends but began fighting in the store over money.
