A YOUNG man was fighting for his life in hospital today after a street brawl in Ipswich.
The man, who is believed to be from Claydon and aged around 20, is currently in the intensive treatment unit at Addenbrooke’s Hospital with serious injuries.
A spokeswoman for Ipswich police said a fight is thought to have broken out in the toilets at Fire and Ice, in Tacket Street, on Saturday evening between two groups.

A spokeswoman for the East of England Ambulance Service Trust said an ambulance was called to a public house in Tavern Street about 11.35pm after reports a man was unconscious.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of committing grievous bodily harm in relation to the incident.
The 20-year-old, from Ipswich, has been released on police bail until September 26, pending further inquiries.
