A man has been injured after falling from the balcony of a flat during a police raid.

The officers were executing a warrant at an address in Duke Street in Ipswich on Monday 13 May.

Police went to the flat around 6pm to execute a search warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

As officers went into the premises three men left the flat via the balcony and jumped from the third floor to the second floor. Two of the men went into the second floor flat and were detained by the occupants and police officers while the third man jumped from the second floor balcony to the ground.

He sustained a serious hand injury and possible internal injuries and has been taken to Ipswich Hospital for assessment and treatment.

All three men have been detained and the other two are not believed to have been injured.

Police have confirmed to Heart that during the incident a Taser was discharged but it did not make contact with anyone.

The scene of the incident has been cordoned off to allow enquiries to take place and officers are asking anyone who saw what happened to call Suffolk Police on 101.
