Children injured in Annecy knife attack no longer in danger, suspect charged

The children injured in the knife attack in Annecy are no longer in danger. This has been announced by the judiciary in France. Yesterday it was said that the four young children who were injured were stable.

On Thursday, a 31-year-old Syrian asylum seeker attacked several children with a knife in a playground in the town in eastern France. Four young children, including a Dutch girl less than two years old, were seriously injured. A man who tried to stop the perpetrator was also injured.

According to the French public prosecutor, the Dutch girl, unlike other victims, was never in danger of life. She has three stab wounds, but no vital organs would be hit. The girl is in a hospital in the Swiss city of Geneva, where her parents are with her.

According to the public prosecutor, there are no indications that the Syrian had a terrorist motive. This was also emphasized earlier. It’s unclear why he shot. He is being psychologically examined.

The suspect has been charged with attempted murder and armed resistance to arrest.
