Six nursery-age children and one adult have been injured in a mass stabbing in a playpark in the French Alps.
The Mirror reports that a lone attacker armed with a knife struck out at the group of kids, all aged around three, at 9.45am local time (8.45am UK time) on Thursday June 8. The children were playing in a park popular with locals in the town of Annecy.
A suspect was rapidly taken into police custody "thanks to the rapid reaction of security forces", Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin tweeted. A minute of silence has been observed at the French parliament's National Assembly and the French Prime Minister, Élisabeth Borne, is on her way to the scene.
