Two days after his daring rescue -- viewed millions of times online -- Mamoudou Gassama, 22-year old, nicknamed "Spiderman" by French media for his astonishing climbing ability and feted as a hero, was offered by French President citizenship, and a job with the fire service.

Mamoudou Gassama, the Malian migrant “Spiderman” who saved a child hanging off a balcony by scaling an apartment block with his bare hands, received French residency Tuesday, the first step towards citizenship promised by President Emmanuel Macron.
After receiving a resident’s permit from local authorities, the 22-year-old, who had been living illegally in France since September, signed a contract to carry out an internship with the Paris fire service.
