A shocking video out of France has gone viral showing a reportedly Syrian asylum-seeker walking around a park and stabbing children and their caretakers. The 31-year-old man is now in custody, leaving several of his victims in serious condition.
Emmanuel Macron commented on the disturbing attack by denouncing it as “cowardice.”
An attacker with a knife stabbed four young children and two adults in a French alpine town Thursday before being arrested, police said.
Police said the children were as young as 3 and that three of the injured — two children and an adult — were in a serious condition. Two other children were “slightly hurt,” police said.
President Emmanuel Macron said in a tweet that the suspect had carried out “an attack of cowardice” and said those injured were “between life and death.”
I’m not going to post the video here because it’s just too graphic. If you really want to see it, it can be found, but as to a description of what it shows, a man is seen running around a grassy area wielding a blade. He then starts running up and stabbing children, some in their strollers. He also stabs two adults, who are assumed to be caretakers (this was a supervised trip to the park). Bystanders can be seen running away or trying to dodge his advances.
France has been inundated with refugees from the Middle East over the last decade. Numerous acts of violence have stemmed from the country’s lax enforcement of immigration law. This latest attack further illustrates the danger of assuming that assimilation isn’t important and that vetting those who are entering a country isn’t necessary.
