Barricades at the Ringhoffer Works
The barricade at the mouth of Stroupežnická Street, where it meets Plzeňská Street, was built from railway carriages on the railway siding of the Ringhofer Works.
The second barricade blocked the junction of Plzeňská and Radlická Streets, while the third blocked the end of Kartouzská Street before Plzeňská Street. Four additional barricades were erected at the Anděl junction with Nádražní Street and many others appeared in the surrounding area.
