TL;DR Summary

A 31-year-old Syrian refugee with permanent residency in Sweden has been charged with attempted murder after stabbing four young children and two adults in a French Alps park. The victims are no longer in life-threatening condition, but the children remain hospitalized. The suspect entered France legally and applied for asylum last year, but was refused a few days before the attack. The motive behind the attack remains unexplained and it doesn't appear to be terrorism-related. The suspect's profile has fueled criticism from far-right and conservative politicians about French migration policies.
