A drama. This Thursday morning, a knife attack left at least six injured in Annecy: two adults – the vital prognosis of one of the two is engaged – and four children, two of whom are in “relative emergency” according to the latest report.

Anthony Le Tallec, the ex-footballer passed among others by Le Havre AC, FC Liverpool and FC Annecy, attended the scene. He shared it on his social media: “I was running by the lake and all of a sudden I see dozens of people running in the opposite direction from me. I wonder what’s going on. A mother tells me ‘run run, someone is stabbing everyone, he stabbed children’. I’m a little surprised, I continue. The guy comes in front of me, the cops are behind him but can’t catch him, he said in stories on Instagram. He comes towards me so I step aside a little and he goes straight for grandpas and grandmas. He stabs the grandpa once, the cops behind can’t catch him and I tell them but ‘shoot him, kill him, he’s stabbing everyone’.”

Also according to the story of the 38-year-old ex-attacker, the aggressor would have attacked “once, twice”. And that’s when the police allegedly started shooting. “I continue my race and I see at the bottom of the children on the ground. It’s incredible. But the cops, slow to trigger something. The guy had time to stab the grandpa twice. It’s crazy to see that in Annecy,” he said. The former great French hope then denounced the “slowness of the intervention” of the police.
