Play
Protesters led by the Students and People Network for Thailand's Reform called off their plan to push through police lines to the Government House and returned to their rally site at the Nang Lerng Intersection.
They stopped the confrontation with police at the Wat Benjamabophit Intersection at 2:30 pm after police put up concrete barriers and reinforced the barriers with barbed wires.
Half an hour earlier, the protesters removed the barbwires at the spot and advanced to police and almost clashed with them. Some protesters snatched shields of policemen and threw water bottles at them, prompting the officers to hide behind inmate trucks.
But the situation eased at 2:30 pm when police managed to restore the barriers.
