Two 16-year-old boys were charged after being stabbed in the center of Ipswich last week.
Police were called shortly before 9:10 p.m. on Thursday, June 2, to report that a man had been stabbed on Upper Brook Street, near the Cock & Pye pub.
This was followed by a quarrel involving two small groups of men, one of whom was believed to be carrying a large knife.
It is then understood that the victim left the scene and headed down Tavern Street to Tower Street.
The victim, a 28-year-old man, received a deep cut on his shoulder, a lung puncture and a wrist wound.
He was taken to hospital and his condition was described as potentially life-threatening.
However, he left the hospital the following afternoon.
A 16-year-old boy from Stomarket has already been charged with three crimes, including causing grievous bodily harm with intent, a crime and possession of an insulting weapon in a public place.
A 16-year-old from Ipswich was also charged with a crime.

As a precautionary measure, a Section 60 order was allowed 30 minutes after the incident at 9.40pm, giving officers additional powers to stop and search people.
This was canceled at 12.15 the next day.
