Mamoudou Gassama, the Malian immigrant who scaled an apartment building in Paris to save the life of a dangling 4-year-old last month, was honoured at the 2018 BET Awards at Microsoft Theater on Sunday night in Los Angeles, California. The 22-year-old received a humanitarian award alongside Anthony Borges, James Shaw Jr., Justin Blackman, Naomi Wadler, and Shaun King. The “Spider-Man Parisian” has since been granted French citizenship by French President Emmanuel Macron, and was also offered an enrollment to be a firefighter at the French fire service with payment of 600 euros monthly for his humanitarian gesture.
