‘Le Spider-Man’ who saved young boy in Paris has his first day in city’s Fire Brigade

The Mali immigrant dubbed “Le Spider-Man,” who saved a young boy dangling from a Paris balcony in May, just had his first day on the job with the city’s Fire Brigade.

Following a month of training, Mamoudou Gassama, 22, posed with 23 other recruits who were inducted into the brigade last week, reported Nine.au.com.

On May 28, a 4-year-old child who was home alone walked onto his apartment’s balcony and somehow ended up on the outside of the railing, hanging on for dear life. Gassama spotted the boy and immediately scaled the building to save him

“I didn’t think about it. I climbed up, and God helped me,” Gassama said.

The boy’s father, who said he was out getting groceries during the incident, will be sentenced in September for abandoning his parental responsibilities, a Paris prosecutor told CNN.
