UPDATE: Police arrested 24 men early on Monday morning for allegedly breaking into Matthayom Wat Sing School in Bangkok, injuring people and disrupting a university admission examination there on Sunday.
The suspects, aged 18-41 years, were charged face charges of trespassing on government property, destruction of government property and physical assault. Some also face sexual harassment charges brought by people at the school.
The arrests follow an incident at the secondary school on Ekachai Road in Bang Khunthian district on Sunday afternoon. Police had earlier told Daily News Online about an unknown number of men who entered Matthayom Wat Sing School in Bangkok's Bang Khuntian district around 3pm and disrupted the GAT/PAT tests for students seeking university placements.
On Sunday morning, the school had asked people in a nearby house to tone down the loud noises coming from a ceremony to mark a man's entry into the monkhood, saying the noise was disturbing students taking the tests, according to the @Kanyayoei Twitter account apparently belonging to one of the students.
During the afternoon, several men, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, entered the school and ordered students taking the test to leave the room, disrupting the test for about 30 minutes, @Kanyayoei tweeted. Several students and teachers were threatened or harassed, according to the tweet.
