Man knifes mother and three daughters at French holiday park
A woman and her three daughters have been attacked by a knife-wielding man at a holiday site in the south of France, French media report.
All four were taken to hospital, with one of the daughters in a critical condition, a police source said.
A man, 37, was arrested trying to leave the scene in a vehicle after the attack, which happened around 10:00 local time (08:00 GMT) near Sisteron.
Local prosecutor Raphael Balland said the motive was still "very vague".
Some media reports suggest the family was targeted for being too lightly dressed.
The mother is said to be 46 years old and her daughters aged between eight and 14.

Leur agresseur présumé, Mohamed B., âgé de 37 ans, aurait agi possiblement pour un motif religieux. Il leur aurait en effet reproché leur tenue trop légère. Les fillettes portaient des bermudas.

Initial reports claimed the man struck because he was angered by the women being "scantily dressed," but a local prosecutor has denied this.
Raphaël Balland, prosecutor of Gap, said: "I wanted to quash the rumour currently doing the rounds because on no account did this man make such comments about the fact that the attack may have been motivated by the victims' dress code."
