PARIS, June 11 (Reuters) - Citizens of the southeastern French town of Annecy gathered on Sunday in support of victims of the knife attack which gravely wounded four toddlers and two pensioners on Thursday. Annecy Mayor Francois Astorg told the crowd the attack was "a tragedy touching our city, the country and the whole world. The suspect, a Syrian refugee, is under formal investigation for attempted murder and was placed in detention on Saturday. The injured are no longer in critical condition, Annecy Prosecutor Line Bonnet-Mathis told a news conference on Saturday, though the four children remained in hospital. The stabbing was the first violent attack targeting children since 2012, when gunman Mohamed Merah shot three Jewish children and one of their parents, and then three soldiers, in Toulouse.

CNN —A 24-year-old man has been hailed as a hero for chasing a man suspected of launching a knife rampage in Annecy, which left six people injured including four toddlers. Two young children are still in intensive care following Thursday’s knife attack in southeast France, when screams rippled through a playground in the small alpine town during the brutal assault. A 31-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker was detained shortly after in suspicion of carrying out the attack, French media and CNN affiliate BFMTV reported Thursday. People lay flowers near the scene at a lakeside park in Annecy, France, on Friday, after a knife attack left four children and two adults wounded. He is on a nine-month journey across the country to visit the most beautiful cathedrals of France, he told BFMTV.
