African Immigrant Climbs 4 Storeys With His Bare Hands In Less Than 30 Secs To Save 4-Year-Old Dangling From Balcony

Props to the man for jumping in without hesitating. I'm so glad this wasn't in the US. Someone might've shot him on the way up claiming trespassing.

People shouldn't criticise the neighbours. They came out and reached over to hold the boy until "spiderman" got there. If they'd tried to climb around the partition to the boy's balcony they may have knocked him off.

This is some strong man...

The real Black Panther!

a real-life hero.. here in the U.S. some of our leaders and citizens forget that we are a nation of immigrants. This used to be what made the U.S. great - that a nation of people of all different backgrounds and beliefs could come together to work for benefit of all involved, not just those at the top.... it's sad and alarming.

To heck with Spiderman, this guy is our next Assassin's Creed protagonist.

Still can't figure why adult male waited for him to make the rescue. Smells a little off to me.

It makes me so sad to tell you this but.....people here (in France) are actually hating on the guy, saying that it's no reason to get citizenship, that if he can climb that well it is because he is a thief, blablabla......... People are so f*****g sick :(

This is so amazing and he actually got citizenship for it! He definitely deserves it. Incredible arm strength too.

Mamadou Gassama is a young hero who in these times are very difficult to find ... he did not think at any moment to risk his life to save that of a child he did not know. God bless Mamoudou!

Before I read that his nickname was Spider-Man, I immediately thought "oh my god its Miles Morales."

WHOA! What a hero! 💐💐💐 I would really like to know how the poor kid got in that state though but this man shows that you should respect others races! 💐💐💐

Why didn't the guy that was right next to the child jump in earlier?

This is a story about NOT letting how someone looks to you impair your judgment of him/her. When I first saw Mr. Gassama's photos, I thought 'Whew, he looks tough, like a bad guy, someone you wouldn't want to be caught out alone by on a dark street at night....." And then I read the story, and watch the video, and although I knew Mr. Gassama is a hero, I couldn't help but wonder how many people would see his photos and think the same thing--that he looked sort of like a "come at me bro" kind of street thug, when he is more of a man, more of a GOOD HUMAN BEING than 20 of us put together! Never judge a book by its cover, my friends. Thank you to Mr. Gassama! I'm sure his parents are grateful. And maybe the reason the father did nothing is because he was scared out of his mind and panicked--didn't know WHAT to do! Put yourself in his situation and try to empathize. I'm glad the baby is ok! Everyone is ok! And Mr. Gassama is A-OK!! :-D

A real life superhero. Props 💖💖💖

amazing spiderman....in real wor(l)d!!!

What about the guy that was in arms reach and just watched?

I'M CRYING

I died a little at seeing this situation...and then Spiderman came and I whooped for joy!

Hero for sure!! That was amazing! And how the Hell did that little one hold on for that long?? Must be very strong. Most 4 yr olds can't hold onto monkey bars that long. What courage it took for that young man to not even hesitate to save that baby.

Im dying to know HOW the child ended up dangling from that balcony and why the people already up there were not able to lift him up to safety. Nothing mentions or explains this.

Now every other immigrant has a really high bar to meet, there are only so many dangling kids that can be saved

I only read the article and it makes my feet and hand shriveled and cold sweat and tingling sensation imagining climbing that much high!! Omg such a gentle soul that man has

Regardless of citizenship, this man is a HERO who risked his life to save the life of a child. We need more people like him in this world!

I hope he takes the citizenship and the job offer...the world needs more like him

Now this is the real hero.

Wow.

Change your window lockers.

Finally someone who gets EU nationality deserving it.

How does the fact he's an immigrant have anything to do with the story? I think the way how you reported it makes you look racist.
