Hero child balcony

Absolutely incredible footage. What a hero.

An unnamed Parisian man transformed into a real life superhero after he climbed up an apartment building to save a stranded child that was clinging onto a balcony ledge.

As you can see below, the man manages to scale four stories in a matter of seconds before eventually pulling the young boy, apparently only four years old, to safety.

Reports in the Le Parisien have stated that firefighters were called to the scene and that they attended to both the child and the heroic rescuer as both were suffering from shock afterwards.

The heroic man only suffered minor scratches from the incident.

It’s reported that the child had been left unattended, before venturing out onto the balcony and getting stuck on the railing of the building on rue Marx Dormoy in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
