TV pictures showed a man lying on the ground with a pool of blood around his head after the violence near the prime minister's compound, Government House.
The protesters accuse the government of being a front for the exiled former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra.
Earlier, they threatened to close more airports and urge unions to strike.
Three airports reopened on Sunday after being forced to close for two days by demonstrations, but rail services are still disrupted.
