On Thursday, a knife attack occurred in Annecy. Children and several people were stabbed by a man. A man with a bag can be seen repeatedly attempting to stop the attackers in a video of the attack that BFMTV was allowed to view.
He had a knife in his hand and was plainly seeking for fresh victims. The first gory pictures of the suspected attacker are seen in the TF1 video up top. We observed a man attempting to restrain him while carrying a backpack, therefore we chose not to continue to show you the scene. Two men then sought to apprehend the suspect by pursuing him. The 31-year-old Syrian immigrant was then apprehended by multiple police officers and taken into custody on suspicion of stabbing several persons, especially young children.
The attack happened fifteen minutes ago at 10 a.m. Law enforcement, SAMU, and firefighters are present. The attack had just happened on the Paquier, a huge esplanade that runs alongside the lake in the heart of Annecy.
“I just saw a gathering of adults, parents, and one or two kids before the police arrived. When I got close, I observed that the young youngster was covered in blood, according to a witness who was a People biker who was present.
Recently, several kids have been stabbed. His waitress informed the proprietor of a brewery that he had been called on the phone. He recalls what she told him: “I just crossed the Paquel River, there were bodies on the ground, the mother was screaming, the children were motionless, and I think I heard a shot.” The attacker, who is presently being held for attempted murder, was restrained by officers from the Annecy police station. The suspect had been seen a few days prior, and one of the witnesses to the play was a frequent visitor to the park. He has been around the playpen for the past two or three days, according to me. He’s been sitting next to the playpen for a few days and hasn’t moved, the young man remarked.
Four kids and two adults suffered injuries. 22 months old is the youngest. Like the woman who frantically searched for her child this morning, worried parents immediately run after them.
Elizabeth Byrne, the prime minister, is anticipated to be present at all times.
