“They were swearing and there were groups of them and there was a couple of girls who I thought were going to have a fight. There was a big row between the two of them and the blokes were shouting. I was scared and frightened.”
Another resident said: “I looked out the window and saw a crowd of people arguing. I just thought do not get involved.”
A spokeswoman for Suffolk police said she believed the revellers were leaving the club at the time of the alleged incident and that there would have been a lot of people in the area at the time.
