Khobar – The viral video of heroic Malian immigrant who scaled the facade of a Paris apartment block to save a boy, who was about to fall from a fourth-floor balcony, brought to mind a Saudi spiderman.
The Saudi young man had also scaled a three-storey building in the city of Al-Khobar, in the Eastern province, and saved a toddler who was about to fall from an apartment window.
A video recording showed the intrepid Saudi man as he grabbed the child, entered the flat through the window and handed over the toddler to his family.
Saudi Twitter users re-posted the video recording, urging the security authorities to honour the Saudi “unsung” hero, whose act of bravery went unnoticed.
French President Emmanuel Macron yesterday received Mamoudou Gassama, 22, and rewarded with the citizenship and a job.
