A man accused of stabbing a British toddler at a playground in the French Alps in June 2023 will face trial, prosecutors say. The defendant, Abdalmasih Hanoun, is charged with attempted murder relating to the attack at a park in Le Paquier.
Outlets report that the charges cover not only the alleged stabbing of a three-year-old British child, but also the attempted murder of 12 other people. Reporting varies in how it describes the incident and details of the child, but all accounts tie the case to the Annecy-area playground attack in 2023 and the same defendant, with the trial scheduled to proceed on those charges.
