INVESTIGATIONS are being carried out this morning after a fight involving a group of men broke out at the Caribbean Club in Ipswich.
Police officers have cordoned off the area resulting in a section of Woodbridge Road being closed.
Police and the ambulance service were called to the club at 4am and four men were taken to hospital suffering from what has been described as “minor cuts and bruises”.
No arrests have been made but an investigation is now underway.
The road between Argyle Street and Great Colman Street has been cordoned off. An alleyway between Tudor Court and Tudor Place which leads to the rear of the club has also been cordoned off by police. A mobile police station is now at the scene and forensic police officers are working in the area.
One resident who lives in Tudor Place - which is accommodation for the over 55s - said she saw about 40 people coming from the rear of the club.

“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.
Anyone who can help police with their inquires can call CID on 01473 613500 or Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.
