Two teenagers have been charged after a stabbing in Ipswich last week.

It's after a fight involving two groups last Thursday, with at least one person carrying a large knife.

Emergency services were called at around 9:10am to Upper Brook Street.

The victim fled the scene but was later found collapsed on Tower Street.

The 28 year old suffered a deep cut to his shoulder, a punctured lung and a wound to his wrist.

He has now been discharged from hospital.

Police were granted additional stop and search powers in the town centre in the aftermath of the attack, which officers think may have been targeted.

A 16-year-old boy from Stowmarket has been charged with three offences - causing grievous bodily harm with intent; affray; and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
