The perpetrator of the violent attack that took place on Monday afternoon in Bordeaux was arrested shortly after as he was known to police.
The video recorded by a security camera of the attack on a 73-year-old woman and her granddaughter in Bordeaux as they entered their home has caused a stir in France.
In the video, the woman can be seen standing at the entrance of her house with her granddaughter by her side when an African man approaches them.
Seconds later the 73-year-old grandmother and the girl, who is under 15 years old, enter the house with the dark-skinned man first putting his foot in the door to keep it from closing and then pulling and throwing the woman and child to the ground.
Then he seems to take the child, who manages to escape and return to his grandmother's side.
