Young Mali migrant saves child dangling from fourth-floor balcony

A young migrant from Mali is being called a hero and real-life Spiderman after he climbed up a building to rescue a young child dangling from a balcony.

A witness captured the incredible video out of Paris, France. It shows Mamoudou Gassama scaling four floors, pulling himself up from balcony to balcony as the child hangs on for his life.

Gassama is able to quickly make it to the 4-year-old child and pull him over the balcony saving his life.

The young migrant said he was on his way to watch a soccer game when he saw the commotion and ran to help.

French President Emmanuel Macron invited Gassama to the Presidential Palace to thank him for his efforts — but he did much more than that. The 22-year-old migrant will be made a French citizen and has been offered a job with the Paris Fire Brigade.

Gassama said he arrived in France only a few months ago and dreams of building a life there.
