President Emmanuel Macron saluted the man – known only as Henri – for his bravery

French media have hailed the “hero with a backpack” for his attempts to thwart a knife attack in Annecy that left four children seriously injured.

Henry, 24, was filmed chasing the suspect and waving his bag at him.

Henry, who has been touring France’s cathedrals as part of his Catholic pilgrimage, says he followed his instincts and did what he could to “protect the weak”.

President Emmanuel Macron praised his courage when he met him in town on Friday afternoon.
