Second blast at Bangkok pier, no one hurt

Bangkok police are investigating a second smaller blast at a pier; this time there were no casualties.

Thai police have reported a second explosion in Bangkok, with no injuries, a day after a deadly bombing.

The second explosion occurred at a ferry pier, but this time no one was hurt, police say.

Police Senior Sergeant Major 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 below.

Security camera footage showed a sudden blast of water dousing people on a walkway at the pier, as bystanders ran for safety.
