A Felixstowe man has been told he must reappear at Ipswich Crown Court later this month to answer allegations of being involved in a Samurai sword attack.

Jerome Greaves, of Mansfield Road, Felixstowe will be joined by four other people in the dock accused of violent disorder in the town after a man was allegedly attacked with weapons including a samurai sword, a machete and a hammer.

21-year-old Greaves, along with Kwasi Jacobs, 43, of Grimwade Street, Ipswich, and a 17-year-old, who cannot be named due to his age, appeared before Ipswich Crown Court yesterday, while a fourth defendant, Keon Graham, 21, of no fixed address, did not attend the hearing, which was subsequently adjourned until Friday, December 17.

The court heard the three men and the youth allegedly attacked a man in Felixstowe on December 28, 2020, while carrying the various weapons and will answer charges of violent disorder and possessing offensive weapons.
