Water cannon and other Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) trucks were seen on standby at the headquarters.
During the march, the police drove two patrol cars into the crowd, forcing the HRP/Hindraf supporters to break up into two lines and onto the sidewalks flanking the road.
rally proceeds to Pudu IPKUpon arrival at the contingent police headquarters, the demonstrators demanded that Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Amar Singh release those arrested within the hour.
As of 11.40am, according to a police source, at least 183 have been arrested over the aborted HRP/Hindraf rally.
If the police refused to heed their demands, said the demonstrators, they would camp outside the police station. They made the assurance, however, that they would not block traffic.
At a press conference in the police station, meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur police chief Zulkifli Abdullah clarified the number of those arrested was 109, not 183 as earlier reported.
