Mamoudou Gassama was caught on video on Saturday climbing a building in Paris to rescue a child who was dangling from a fourth-floor balcony. As the footage above shows, it took Gassama about half a minute to reach the 4-year-old and pull him to safety.
I did not think of the floors I did not think of the risk, Gassama told Le Parisien, according to a translation by Nine.com.au. I did it because its a child.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo called the 22-year-old hero Spider-Man of the 18th, as the rescue happened in the citys 18th arrondissement (district).
He explained to me that he had arrived from Mali a few months ago, dreaming of building his life here, Hidalgo told the Guardian. I told him that his heroic act is an example to all citizens and that the city of Paris will obviously be very keen to support him in his efforts to settle in France.

Unlike Traitor Tot. He'd probably be cooling his heels in an ICE prison if he had done that here.
