Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo on Sunday praised the heroism of Malian immigrant, Mamoudou Gassama, who scaled the facade of a four-storey building to save a child hanging from a ledge, saying the city will support his effort to settle in France. The video of Gassama's quick climbing to reach the child, cheered on by terrified onlookers, went viral on social media, with people calling the 22-year-old a real spiderman.
 
Paris: Real life hero climbed 4th floor to rescue a child A Malian migrant has been hailed a hero after he scaled the front of a building in Paris to save a child hanging from a fourth-floor balcony. In less than a minute he pulls himself from balcony to balcony and grabs the four-year-old as a neighbour tries to hold the child from an adjoining flat. President Emmanuel Macron has invited Mr Gassama to the Elysee Palace on Monday to thank him personally. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo also praised the 22-year-old's heroism and said she had called him to thank him. She referred to him as the "Spiderman of the 18th", referring to the Paris district where the rescue took place. "Congratulations to Mamoudou Gassama for his act of bravery that saved the life of a child," Ms Hidalgo tweeted. "He explained to me that he had arrived from Mali a few months ago dreaming of building his life here. "I replied that his heroic gesture was an example for all citizens and that the City of Paris will obviously be keen to support him in his efforts to settle in France." The drama unfolded on Saturday evening on a street in the north of the city. Mr Gassama told journalists he had been walking past when he saw a crowd gathered in front of the building. Local authorities quoted by French media said the child's parents were not at home at the time. The father has been questioned by police on suspicion of leaving his child unattended, judicial sources say. The mother was not in Paris at the time, it is believed.

A Mali immigrant who scaled a Paris apartment building to save a child dangling from a balcony will be awarded for his bravery with papers to legalise his stay and a job as a firefighter.

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that 22-year-old Mamoudou Gassama will be awarded for his “exceptional act” with legal papers, citizenship if he wants it and a job with the fire service.

"Bravo," Mr Macron said to Mr Gassama during a one-on-one meeting in a gilded room of the presidential Elysee Palace that ended with the awarding of a medal from the prefecture for "courage and devotion".

Mr Gassama's has been dubbed "Spider-Man" for climbing up five floors, from balcony to balcony, and whisking a four-year-old boy to safety on Saturday night as a crowd screamed at the foot of the building in Paris' northern 18th district.

The astonishing footage of Mr Gassama scaling the building and rescuing the child in just 30 seconds has been shared hundreds of thousands of times on social media.

The young man said he has papers to legally stay in Italy, where he arrived in Europe after crossing the Mediterranean after a long, rough stay in Libya.

However, he wants to join his older brother, who has lived in France for decades.

Mr Gassama, dressed in blue jeans and white shirt, recounted his experience which took place at around 8pm on Saturday when he and friends saw a young child hanging from a fifth-floor balcony. He and his friends had been on the way to watch the Champions League final.

"I ran. I crossed the street to save him," he told Mr Macron during a filmed portion of the meeting.

He said he did not think twice, adding: "When I started to climb, it gave me courage to keep climbing."

God "helped me" too, he said. "Thank God I saved him."

Mr Gassama felt fear when he took the child into the apartment.

"I was trembling," he told Mr Macron.

"Because this is an exceptional act... we are obviously, today, going to regularise all your papers," Mr Macron told him, "and if you wish we will start nationalisation procedures so you can become French."

Mr Gassama told Mr Macron that he arrived in Italy in 2014 after more than a year in Libya, where he was arrested and beaten, "but I wasn't discouraged".

The French president is toughening the nation's approach to immigration, and stressed that not all who make the treacherous journey to Europe can be welcomed, but that Mr Gassama's actions were admirable.

"You saved a child. Without you, no one knows what would have become of him," the president said.

"You need courage and the capability to do that."

Working as a firefighter corresponds with his skills, Mr Macron said, and opened the door for him to join.

"You have become an example because millions have seen you" on social media, the president said.

The French media reported that the father of the small child was detained for alleged parental neglect.
