Residential Building Of Mali 'Spiderman' Heroics Attracts Tourists

Mamoudou Gassama

The residential building where Malian Mamoudou 'spiderman' Gassama scaled to save a small boy dangling from a balcony in the French capital, Paris, has become a tourist site, news agency AFP reports.

A local resident identified as Chantal told AFP: "since Saturday, it hasn't stopped.... every day people have been coming to look at it themselves."

AFP reports that its team saw crowds gathering at the site, taking photos of themselves, and expressing wonder at Mr Gassama's antics.

The 22-year-old migrant's life has changed dramatically since the video of his rescue was shared online.

On top of admirable skills, he is set to be made a French citizen and recently began his life as a trainee fireman with the Paris service.

Here's another chance to watch the Malian spiderman in action:
