The two suspects then ran up away up Dial Lane and into Tower Street, pursued by the victim.
Two people were arrested a short while later in Fonnereau Road.
The incident occurred at 5.35pm on Wednesday, March 1.
A 20-year-old from Ipswich was detained on suspicion of causing fear/provocation of violence, while the 16-year-old boy from Ipswich was arrested on suspicion of possession of a bladed article in a public place.
