Bravery was arrested shortly afterwards and told police he had planned in advance to hurt someone at the Tate Modern to be on TV.
in his police interview, Bravery said he had to prove a point "to every idiot" who said he had no mental health problems, asking police if the incident was

He said: "I wanted to be on the news, who I am and why I did it, so when it is official no-one can say anything else."
Bravery, who has autistic spectrum disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and was likely to have a personality disorder, has been held at Broadmoor

In social media posts, now deleted, the defendant's father, Piers Bravery attempted to raise awareness of autism and its treatment.
Bravery was 17 when he was charged but could not be named until his 18th birthday in October.

It's very curious that when strange men hear voices in their head, those voices exclusively tell them to do bad things.
I've never heard yet of an instance where, for example, a young thug or mentalist is told by the voices to do a bit of shopping or gardening for a disabled person, or maybe do a few kindnesses for some OAPs.
Have you met anyone who hears voices in their heads encouraging them to murder people? I haven't.
