BANGKOK, Thailand â?? Riot police fled a checkpoint near Bangkok's international airport Saturday after coming under attack by several hundred anti-government protesters who have been occupying the main terminal.

 

About 150 police at the checkpoint jumped into their vehicles and sped off when they saw a convoy of protesters â?? many armed with metal rods and some carrying guns â?? speeding toward them. Video footage of the attack appeared to show a protester firing a handgun toward a police van filled with officers. It was not immediately clear if there were any injuries.
