According to South Korea’s railway police and Korail, the state-run railway operator, the incident occurred at around 9pm on Thursday at Singyeongju Station in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.
A rail traffic controller who was monitoring the station via closed-circuit cameras noticed the boy trespassing into the restricted area and placing a rock on the railway.The railway section where the rock was placed is used by high-speed trains that run at a maximum speed of 300kmh, Korail officials explained.

According to local reports, the suspect, whose identity and exact age have been withheld, said he wanted to derail the train and be sent to a juvenile detention centre.The suspect could face charges of violating the Railway Safety Act. The interrogation will be conducted with a parent or guardian in attendance, officials said. - The Korea Herald/ANN
