Witness: Thai protesters cut power at police headquarters

Anti-government protesters cut electricity at Thailand's national police headquarters and an adjacent police hospital in Bangkok on Thursday, a Reuters witness said, intensifying a demonstration aimed at toppling the prime minister.

"I confirm the protesters pulled down several electricity cables outside the police headquarters. We are now on back-up electricity, we are using a generator. Electricity at the police general hospital has also been affected," said Anucha Romyanan, deputy national police spokesman. (Reuters)
