TWO men were being questioned by police today after a man was taken to hospital following an attack in Ipswich.

The victim was assaulted in the bedroom of a property in Ann Street, off Norwich Road, early this morning.

An ambulance crew was called to the property just after 12.30am after the man sustained wounds to his head and body.

After initially being treated at the scene, the 26-year-old was taken to Ipswich Hospital.

Louise Rosher, a spokeswoman for Suffolk Police, said his wounds included a gash to the head, a cut to his left eye and bruising all over his body.

Although a weapon is believed to have been used to inflict some if not all of the injuries, police declined to say what it was.

However, it is not thought that the man had been stabbed.

Police have recovered the weapon they think was used during the attack, but are awaiting results of forensic tests.

Two men were arrested in the area in connection with the assault.

One is a 26-year-old man, the other a 36-year-old man. Both live in Ipswich.

They were taken to Ipswich police station for questioning.

Officers were due to interview them during the day to determine what action will be taken.

The suspects have been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent.
