The victim, believed to be in the late 30s, was walking on a footpath near the Ordinance roundabout when the attack happened.

Anna Woolnough, Suffolk police spokeswoman, said: “Police are currently investigating a complaint of rape made by a man aged in his late 30s.

“The man had been at the Band Box nightclub when he left in the early hours of the morning and walked towards the Ordinance roundabout.

“Another male, who was waiting in Pram Lane, raped him. The victim then returned to Band Box where he met with friends.

“He later contacted police and reported the incident.”

Mrs Woolnough said Scenes of Crime Officers (SOCO) had cordoned off an area of Garrison Lane while they gather evidence.
