Two men who were involved in a “riot” during which two rival gangs armed with weapons, including bottles, baseball bats, an axe, knives, a hammer and pieces of wood, clashed in an Ipswich town centre street have been locked up for eight months.
Sentencing Brandon Smith and Aristote Yenge, Judge David Goodin said they had acted like “violent thugs” during what he described as a “riot”.
He said members of the public who witnessed the violence must have found it “terrifying”.
