2nd Bangkok explosion hits pier; police say there are no injuries
A day after Bangkok’s deadly bomb attack, there has been a second explosion in Thailand’s capital, this time at a ferry pier, but this time no one was hurt, police say.
Police Senior Sgt. Maj. Worapong Boonthawee says an explosive device was thrown from the Taksin Bridge on Tuesday afternoon and blew up at Sathorn Pier after falling into the Chao Phraya River. He said there were no injuries.
Security camera footage shows a sudden blast of water dousing people on a walkway at the pier, and bystanders running for safety.
