Knife attack in France: "The man appeared to shout “in the name of Jesus Christ” as he waved his knife in the air, according to witnesses"

The social media is flooded with racist comments about the man who said to be a 31 years old Syrian who was asylum seeker in Sweden. But the newsein France doesn't say anything about this other this:

A suspect, identified by police as a 31-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker, was detained.

Video appearing to show the attack in a children's play park in the Alpine and lakeside town of Annecy, 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of the Swiss city of Geneva, was posted on social media. The horrific scenes showed a man in dark glasses and with a blue scarf covering his head brandishing a knife, as people screamed for help.

Witnesses described the knifeman running around a public park on the banks of Lake #Annecy in a frenzy, apparently attacking people at random, before he was shot by police.
