Earlier this month the story of a 24-year-old French man named Henri, who is being called the “backpack hero,” went viral for stopping a knife attack at a playground in southeastern France by chasing the attacker with a backpack.
Henri was in the town of Annecy during a pilgrimage visiting France’s cathedrals when he witnessed the attack.
Two adults, men over age 70, and four children, all 3 years old and younger, were seriously injured and later hospitalized due to the attack.
The Frenchman joined EWTN News Nightly on June 20 to share his experience and the latest developments.
