‘Spider-man’ honoured

PRESIDENT Emmanuel Macron on Monday lauded as a hero a migrant from Mali who scaled an apartment building to save a child dangling from a balcony, and rewarded the young man’s bravery with an offer of French citizenship and a new career as a firefighter. “Bravo,” Mr Macron said to 22-year-old Mamoudou Gassama during a meeting in a gilded room of the presidential Elysee Palace where Mr Gassama also received a gold medal from the French state for “courage and devotion.”
