The attack happened in the London Road South area on 14 August.

Mr Thompson has also been charged with possessing a knife.

Both defendants have been remanded in custody and their trial is due to take place in March.

A Suffolk Police spokeswoman said Ms Bellis was continuing to undergo treatment for "serious, life-changing injuries".
