While there, a male allegedly assaulted a police officer in the groin and punched another officer in the face.

A 31-year-old was arrested and taken into custody for questioning.

Remus Ricardo Sandu, of Surrey Road, Ipswich, was later charged with two counts of assault and one of wilful obstruction of an officer.

He has been released by police on bail to appear before Suffolk Magistrates sitting in Ipswich on August 11 at 9:15am.
