Annecy (France), June 8 (EFE).- Four young children and one adult are in critical condition, with another adult less seriously injured, in a stabbing attack on a children's playground that has left France in shock.

Statements by Mathieu Desbres: "Attacking people with a knife is petty, let's say. He stopped children under the age of three... I think the victims were between three and six years old, it's unfortunate. Annecy has always been a city where feel safe. It shows that things can happen anywhere and that we are not safe from anything."

Statements by Charlotte Estrada: "Whenever I've come to Annecy I've come with the idea that it was a very safe and pleasant city. That's why it surprised me so much. Especially for the three-year-olds, I don't find any sense in it. I don't understand it. It has impacted me a lot."
