The French government has decided to provide French citizenship to a Malian immigrant who has been dubbed Spiderman for scaling four storeys to save a child hanging from a balcony in Paris.
The French government decided to provide the man with the citizenship after meeting the French President Emmanuel Macron Sunday morning.
Mamoudou Ga s sama, 22, has been hailed a hero for rescuing the four-year-old kid to safety after scaling the facade in just seconds of an apartment in the capital.
The dramatic video clip shared on social media shows Ga s sama climbing from balcony to balcony and reaching the child dangling from a balcony on the fourth floor in less than 30 seconds. Ga s sama is now being compared to the Marvel superhero Spiderman.
Ga s sama, who immigrated to France a few months ago in a dream of building a life in the country, was captured meeting French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace Sunday morning.
The president told that the migrant would be made a French citizen and would also be offered a place in the fire brigade. The president also honored Ga s sama with a medal of bravery.
Ga s sama recounted the meeting with President as:
I was not thinking of anything. I went straight up. I'm pleased because it's the first time I've received a trophy like that.
Mail Online reported the incident took place in the northern Paris at around 8 pm on Saturday.
