“Pretty much what we heard last night was fighting in the flats, we heard screaming,” he told the Courier Mail.
βWe heard a big scream right after the scream, like a grown man screaming. About 20 minutes later there were 20 police cars.’
Mr Ridgeway said the area had changed for the worse since a block of flats was built two years ago.
The suspect will appear before Ipswich Magistrates Court on Monday.
