Security cameras in from of apartments in the vicinity captured the attacker sneaking up to the old woman and the little girl, who sensed trouble and ran back inside the house.
In the video, the man, said to be a migrant of African origin pushed the door in and grabbed the duo, flinging them to the floor violently.

“How awful. Bordeaux today. This is what they have done to our country. French, wake up,” Reconquête chief and French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour said, sharing the video.
French news outlet Infos Bordeaux in a report said the suspect has been arrested.
Earlier this month, a 31-year-old Syrian, who had refugee status in Sweden, attacked four young children in a park in Annecy, in France’s south-east. He stabbed these four children and two adults.
