22-year-old Mamoudou Gassama will be made a French citizen after he climbed the facade of a building 4 floors up to save a child from falling.
A video shows a little child hanging down a balcony, while neighbors tried to pull him up to safety.
Gassama, an immigrant from Mali, had been in the neighborhood to watch football, when he saw the child.
He quickly climbed up the facade of the building and pulled the child to safety.
Watch the video below:
Speaking to the French president Emmanuel Macron who invited him thereafter, he said: “I didn’t think about it, I climbed up and God helped me.”
Speaking to CNN-affiliate BFM TV after the rescue, he said:
I like children, I would have hated to see him getting hurt in front of me. I ran and I looked for solutions to save him and thank God I scaled the front of the building to the balcony.
Gassama will not only be made a citizen but has also been offered a job by the Paris fire brigade.

A DESERVING young man. Well done Mamoudou Gassama. A real SPIDER-MAN.

NOW A CITIZEN OF FRANCE. GOD BLESS YOU. He arrived as an immigrant in September 2017 from MALI.

In 2015 another’s Malian immigrant Lassana Bathily SAVED many lives in France during a deadly attack on a Paris kosher supermarket. He too was honoured after many years.

MALI a small country but full of people with real HUMAN SPIRIT.

I love his answer when he was asked why he risked his life he simply answered -IT WAS A CHILD.

He also added GOD HELPED ME.

DO GOOD AND GOOD COMES BACK TO YOU.

When a black man is the only option to save a white person... racism disappears.
