Annecy is a scenic town in the French Alps close to the border with Switzerland popular with tourists and home to one of the world’s top animation festivals, which starts Sunday.
A video of the attack shows the suspect running at the park and zeroing on a child in a pram. A woman tries to block him; however, he dashes from the side and stabs the child multiple times.
Witnesses described the suspected knifeman running around in a frenzy, apparently attacking people at random, before he was shot by police near the banks of Lake Annecy.
