French judges have handed preliminary charges of attempted murder to a man suspected of stabbing four young children and two adults in a French Alps park. The suspect is a 31-year-old Syrian refugee with permanent residency in Sweden who has a 3-year-old daughter. His name was not released. The lead prosecutor said he was presented to investigating judges in the Alps town of Annecy on Saturday and handed the charges. He is in custody pending further investigation. Witnesses said he mentioned his daughter, wife and Jesus Christ during the attack. The prosecutor says the victims are no longer in life-threatening condition after Thursday’s stabbing.
