FRANCE — Young Man Scales Building In Seconds To Save Dangling Toddler!

The images are breathtaking. Saturday, around 20 hours, a young man climbed the facade of a building of the eighteenth arrondissement of Paris to help a child suspended in the vacuum.

The scene is on rue Marx Dormoy. While a 4-year-old threatens to fall from the balcony to the 4 th floor, Mamoudou Gassama, a Malian undocumented 22 years living in Montreuil, began a mad ascent of thirty seconds to the rescue at the risk of his life.

Below, a worried crowd attends the stage. As explained by a witness, interviewed by Le Parisien, contrary to what we seem to see in the video below, the neighbor on the adjoining balcony could not alone draw the child to him. "There is a fence and a gap between them," he explains. The neighbor could not afford to lean back to get the child himself. "
