Police said they believe it was launched from a nearby tollway.

A series of explosions have rocked the Thai capital in recent weeks.

Last Thursday a grenade injured a security guard at a shopping complex.

On July 30, a man in his 30s was injured when a grenade hidden in a plastic garbage bag detonated.

That attack happened less than a week after a small bomb exploded at a Bangkok bus stop, killing one person and injuring 10 others.

In March, an M79 grenade was fired into a military compound, injuring two soldiers.
