A man stabbed a mother and her three daughters in the south of France on Tuesday, leaving the youngest victim fighting for her life, according to media reports.
The knifeman targeted the 46-year-old mom and her daughters as they were eating breakfast in the French town of Garda-Colombe in Hautes Alpes near Montepellier, the reports said.
Both parties were believed to be on vacation at the time of the savage assault, which comes on the heels of last week’s truck attack in Nice, where 84 people were fatally mowed down by a sex-and-drug crazed jihadist on Bastille Day.
The suspect, identified only as a Moroccan named “Mohamed B,” attempted to flee in a vehicle, but was quickly captured by police.
The youngest girl, aged 8, suffered a punctured lung and had to be airlifted to a hospital in the town of Gap, where she’s listed in critical condition.
The mother, who sustained a stab wound to her sternum, and her two others daughters, aged 12 and 14, were brought to the same hospital. Their conditions were not immediately known.
Initial media reports falsely stated
that the suspect had attacked the victims because they were “too lightly dressed.”
“I wanted to quash the rumor currently doing the rounds because on no account did this man make such comments about the fact that the attack may have been motivated by the victims’ dress code,” Gap prosecutor Raphael Balland said at a press conference, according to the Independent newspaper.
Balland told La Parisien newspaper, ‘The motive of the attack is very unclear. ‘No religious connotation word has been pronounced.’
