'Spider-Man' Hero to Become French Fireman

Mamoudou Gassama was dubbed Spider-Man by the media over the weeked, after he climbed a building in Paris to rescue a four-year old child who was seen hanging off a balcony.

Today, after meeting President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace, Gassama – a twenty-two year old migrant from Mali – will be made a naturalised French citizen, and will also become a volunteer firefighter.

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo nicknamed him as the "Spider-Man of the 18th", the district of Paris where this rescue occurred.

The child's father is due in court today after being questioned by police for leaving a child unattended.
