A young man tried to intervene several times in the Annecy knife attack. He had a hiking bag on his back and a second smaller in his hand.

The young man is called Henri and began more than two months ago a tour of France cathedrals, which he reports via a Facebook page, an Instagram page and a TikTok account. According to an article in Aleteia, the young man would have a degree in philosophy at the IPC. "I have always had a taste for walking, and associating it with cathedral is in a way to make a great pilgrimage," he explained to the Catholic media.
