A SCHOCKED social club patron today told how he fled from an Ipswich club after being confronted by a knife-wielding woman.

Frightened Nicholas Upton spoke of the moment he escaped the reach of the woman, who brandished the knife without warning.

The dramatic scene unfolded at about 9.30pm last night at the Caribbean Club in Woodbridge Road where a number of people were playing dominoes and enjoying a Friday night drink.

Mr Upton told the Star: “I had only just got a drink and she said 'what are you doing here'. The next moment she got a knife out, it must have been six to eight inches long.”
