The children are aged 22- 36 months.A man armed with a knife stabbed four preschool children and injured two adults by a lake in the French Alps on Thursday in an attack whose motive remains unclear.
All four child victims aged between 22 and 36 months, including a British boy, were in a critical state in hospital.

It has emerged a late November application in France was rejected last Sunday as he already had refugee status in Sweden.LUDOVIC MARIN / POOL/EPA "He wanted to attack everyone. I moved away and he lunged at an old man and woman and stabbed the old man," former professional footballer Anthony Le Tallec, who was running in the park, told the local Dauphine Libere newspaper.
