Two men remain seriously injured in hospital today after reportedly being attacked in central Ipswich on Sunday night.

It is the second time this month a serious attack has taken place in the town after two men were killed in a stabbing at the West Meadows travellers’ site.

Police have provided updated information today, December 20, so here is everything we know about the latest incident.

• Suffolk Constabulary was called by the East of England Ambulance Service around 10pm on Sunday (December 18).

• They had responded to reports of two men with serious injuries in Foundation Street, Ipswich.
