A brawl involving what eyewitnesses reported as 12 people has been broken up by police in the centre of Ipswich.
It began in the Old Cattle Market/Turret Lane area of the town at 1.15pm and officers removed their tasers to deal with the offenders although it’s unclear if they were used.
A number of arrests have been made said a spokeswoman for Suffolk police and officers are still at the scene dealing with the incident.
She said: “We are dealing with a large altercation involving a group of people in the Old Cattle. Market bus station. There have been a number of arrests so far and an ambulance has been called.”
An eyewitness reported seeing two men jump over a fence who were being chased by police officers.
“I heard screaming from near the Plough pub and then I could hear sirens. Two police officers came close to where I was at the scene and caught them.
“They had their tasers but I’m not sure if they used them.”
