The 15-year-old boy was detained Thursday afternoon shortly after attacking Bae of the ruling People Power Party with a rock the size of an adult man's fist in Seoul's southern district of Gangnam for unclear reasons.
Bae, a television news anchor-turned-lawmaker, was struck on the head 15 times. She was taken to Soonchunhyang University Hospital and had her bleeding wound stapled. She remains hospitalized there.
During the investigation, the suspect told the police that he left home about two hours before the incident, bumped into Bae and accidentally committed the attack, according to police officials.
He reportedly said he had been waiting, at a doctor's order, to be admitted to a closed psychiatric ward due to a depression relapse.
He also said he was habitually carrying the rock with him..
