Police are assessing damage caused at Ding Daeng police station for future legal action against protesters who rallied there early on Monday morning, after the demonstration outside the army barracks where Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha lives.

Din Daeng police chief Pol Col Ratthachai Sriwichai said on Monday that investigators were compiling evidence, including fingerprints found in the compound, to register complaints against the invaders.

A group of protesters walked to the police station after the rally outside the 1st Infantry Regiment ended, arriving about 2am.

Damage included a police pickup truck set on fire, a police motorcycle damaged and a window broken, Pol Col Ratthachai said.

During the rally outside the infantry barracks, which started on Sunday afternoon and continued until about 1am,  23 police and 10 demontrators were injured. Police detained 22 protesters, who were taken to the Region 1 Border Patrol Police office in Pathum Thani.
