BANGKOK (Reuters) - Protesters trying to overthrow Thailand's government launched an attack on Bangkok's police headquarters on Friday before being repulsed by what appeared to be teargas, a Reuters reporter at the scene said.
After the assault by around 2,000 people, protesters were seen vomiting, the reporter said.
