Harrowing video shows Syrian refugee stabbing kids in French playground, including tot in stroller

NEW YORK POST

Chilling video footage caught a Syrian refugee repeatedly stabbing screaming adults and kids in a French playground Thursday — including at least one toddler in a stroller.

A 90-second clip shared online shows the man repeatedly running at people in the picturesque Alpine town of Annecy, injuring at least six people, including four kids under age 5 left fighting for their lives.

Police later blamed a 31-year-old Syrian national with legal refugee status in France for the attack that President Emmanuel Macron called “an act of absolute cowardice.”

The footage starts with the black-clad suspect rushing out of the play area of Le Paquiet Park as heart-wrenching screams fill the air.

“Jesus Christ!” a male voice yells in English, as the bearded suspect — in shorts and a blue headscarf — seems to calmly play with a chain around his neck while brandishing his knife.

One woman tries to push two young kids in a double stroller as the stabber runs in circles nearby — then attacks a nearby man who heroically tries to tackle him by swinging a bag.

As that good Samaritan follows, yelling for the police, the attacker darts back into the play area, leaping over a small wall — and running straight at the screaming woman pushing the double stroller.

She also tries to tackle him — screaming “Get away!” in English as she stands between him and the stroller.

As others tentatively try to intervene, the crazed attacker circles back around past the stroller at least two more times — leaning over the stroller and stabbing downward repeatedly, with at least one young child heard wailing in terror.

“Police! Police!” someone yells as the man with the bags continues trying to intervene.

The clip ends with the attacker leaving the play area and heading toward a grass field.
