Paris balcony boy family thank Mali 'Spiderman' Mamoudou Gassama

The family of a small boy
dramatically rescued after
dangling from a balcony in Paris,
France have expressed their
thanks to the Malian man who
saved him. "He's truly a hero," the boy's
grandmother said of migrant
Mamoudou Gassama, who scaled
four floors to pluck the child from
danger. The four-year-old's father, who had
left him in their flat and gone
shopping, faces charges of failing to
look after his child, reports say. Mr Gassama will be given
citizenship. French President Emmanuel Macron
personally thanked him, gave him a
medal for courage and said he would
also be offered a role in the fire
service. More details have begun to emerge of
the circumstances surrounding the
incident. Source:BBC News
