The 54-year-old suspect told the baby to shut up before retrieving a butterfly knife and returning to stab its guardian multiple times in the face.
A Palestinian migrant living illegally in France was arrested on Tuesday after stabbing a man traveling with a 6-month-old child because the baby wouldn’t stop crying.
The 54-year-old suspect was detained near the train station in the eastern city of Mulhouse, according to a report by Valeurs Actuelles journalist Amaury Bucco on X.
It is understood the victim was traveling with a mother and her 6-month-old baby who was crying on the station platform when the suspect approached the couple and told them to keep the child quiet.
