Three-year-old girl from England is stable after being stabbed in France

A British girl injured in a knife attack at a lakeside park in the French Alps is in stable condition in hospital, according to reports.

The girl, said to be aged three, was one of four children and two adults wounded when the suspect – identified by police as a 31-year-old Syrian – attacked people with a knife in the town of Annecy on Thursday.

Authorities said the children were taken to hospital in critical condition, but Annecy Mayor François Astorg told French media on Thursday evening they were “stable” and “out of the operating room” – with the Telegraph reporting the girl is now in hospital in Grenoble, a city around an hour-and-a-half away by car.
