Arrest warrants to be issued after Saturday’s Chamchuri mall explosion
Police plan to issue arrest warrants for at least two suspects involved in throwing a "ping pong bomb" at police officers near Chamchuri mall, injuring three officers and a reporter.
The explosive device, thrown from a vehicle, is similar to one used in a previous incident following a Ratsadon protest.
Anti-establishment protesters rallied to demand information on missing guard Mongkol Santimethakul, who was later released in the Bangpoo area.
Mongkol, accompanied by his lawyer, reported his release to police and will undergo physical and psychological evaluation.
