PARIS, June 8 (Xinhua) -- A man on Thursday morning stabbed people with a knife in a park in the city of Annecy, southeast France, injuring several people, including nursery children, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin confirmed.
"The man suspected of carrying out the attack was arrested by the police," he added.
The Prefecture of Haute-Savoie said in a press release that the attack injured a total of six people, including two adults and four nursery children.
A police source told French news channel BFMTV that the victims were all severely injured, while two children and one adult are in life-threatening condition.
French President Emmanuel Macron called the act an "attack of absolute cowardice."
"Children and one adult are between life and death. The nation is in shock," he added on his social media. ■
