PARIS, May 28, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The young Malian migrant who saved a four-
year-old child hanging from a fourth-floor Paris balcony after scaling the
facade with his bare hands will be made a French citizen, President Emmanuel
Macron said Monday.
Mamoudou Gassama, who met with Macron after a video of his rescue went
viral on social media, will also be offered a place in the fire brigade, the
president added.
