Ramkhamhaeng students, residents of boarding houses behind campus stranded
A lot of red-shirt guards were seen rampaging in front of and behind the Ramkhamhaeng University campus, trapping both students inside the campus and people living in boarding houses in the areas.
T News reported that about 30 red-shirt guards from Rajamangala Stadium went to road in front of the university at 6 am and clashed with the students. Explosion and gunfire were heard now and then.
A woman living in a boarding house behind the university said she could not go to work because there were a lot of red shirts on the road waiting to attack the students.
The woman said her younger brother, who is a Ramkhamhaeng student, was stranded inside the university and had nothing to eat.
Wathit Chotewathikul, a student leader, told The Nation that at 7 am gunfire was still heard now and then and four students were shots. Two of them were severely injured and all the injured students were rushed to Ramkhamhaeng and Dr Panya hospitals.
Wathit said he tried to contact the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order for help but it declined to dispatch police to help.
He said he managed to contact a military officer who agreed to send troops to help evacuate the students.
