Gerald Darmanin said the attack took place in a square in the town of Annecy. In a short tweet, he said police have detained the attacker.
“Several people including children have been injured by an individual armed with a knife in a square in Annecy,” he tweeted.
A local lawmaker, Antoine Armand, tweeted that children were attacked on a playground. He called the attack “abominable.”
In Paris, lawmakers interrupted a debate to hold a moment of silence for the victims, BFMTV reported.
