The girl was arrested on suspicion of wounding but was later released under investigation pending further enquiries.
“We are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information to come forward,” said Detective Inspector Holly Evans. “We believe this is an isolated incident and do not feel there is an obvious increased risk to the wider public.”
Local newspaper the Ipswich Star reports that the road “had been cordoned off all day” while investigations were carried out at the scene. Witnesses reported that at least seven police vehicles and two ambulances arrived at the house shortly after the incident.
The attack came hours before another man was stabbed just three miles away.
An air ambulance crew and police were called to Ipswich’s Turin Street just before 2pm, but were unable to save the victim, who died at the scene. A murder inquiry has been launched.
Police say the two incidents are unrelated.
