Two men were arrested at the scene while a third man was arrested when he attended the scene later that day.
Zilvinas Galinis, 35, of Lopham Road, East Harling, Mantas Zidonis, 25, of no-fixed-abode and Lukas Slenys, 26, of no-fixed-abode, were all arrested and taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre, where they were subsequently charged.
