Malian migrant climbs the building and saves 4-year old child
Sometimes the „hero side“ awakes in people when they do not even have time to perceive it.
All of this he did with his bare hands while wearing jeans and a short-sleeved shirt. As he said- “I was not thinking of anything. I went straight up.”
26th of May, 2018 Gassama leaped into action on evening after seeing a child dangling in mid-air from a balcony half-way up an apartment block in the multi-ethnic 18th district of the French capital.
The video shows him pulling himself up from balcony to balcony as a man on the fourth floor tries to hold on to the child by leaning across from a neighboring balcony.
On reaching the fourth floor Gassama, who lives in a hostel for immigrants, throws one leg over the balcony before reaching out with his right arm and grabbing the child.
Firefighters arrived at the scene to find the child had already been rescued, with a spokesman saying that “luckily, there was someone who was physically fit and who had the courage to go and get the child.”
“I saw all these people shouting, and cars sounding their horns. I climbed up like that and, thank God, I saved the child,” he said.
“I felt afraid when I saved the child …(when) we went into the living room, I started to shake, I could hardly stand up, I had to sit down,” he added.

Same story happened to the called „national Paris hero“, 22 year old Mamoudou Gassama. He was honored by French President Emmanuel Macron and offered citizenship after he saved a 4-year old child dangling from fourth floor balcony.
All of this he did with his bare hands while wearing jeans and a short-sleeved shirt. As he said- “I was not thinking of anything. I went straight up.”
