A Paris spiderman has been deemed a hero after rescuing a child left dangling from a balcony whilst his father played Pokemon Go.

The French father who left his 4-year-old son home alone so he could go shopping and play Pokemon Go, has been charged with “failure to meet parental obligations”.

Real-life spiderman, Mali migrant Mamoudou Gassama, has been granted French citizenship and offered a role in the fire department.

It took Mr Gassama 40 seconds to scale the building to rescue the young boy hanging from the balcony.
