Three men have been arrested after a triple stabbing in Christchurch Park last night.
Emergency services were called to the town centre park just after 6.50pm to reports of a man who had suffered stab wounds to his leg following a fight.
Suffolk police officers and the East of England Ambulance Service were scrambled to the scene and found a man with several leg wounds in the park near to the junction of Park Road and Henley Road.
A Suffolk police spokeswoman said: “A few minutes later they found a man with a stab wound and cuts to his face and a wound to his body, and a third man with a small puncture wound to his shoulder.”
Armed police officers and the police helicopter were deployed in a huge operation to trace the suspects.
It is feared there were more than three people stabbed and inquiries are continuing into whether there are any further victims.
The spokesman confirmed two of the victims were taken to Ipswich Hospital for treatment but that neither of the injuries were thought to be life-threatening.
