Speaking to the French president Emmanuel Macron who invited him thereafter, he said: “I didn’t think about it, I climbed up and God helped me.”

Speaking to CNN-affiliate BFM TV after the rescue, he said:

I like children, I would have hated to see him getting hurt in front of me. I ran and I looked for solutions to save him and thank God I scaled the front of the building to the balcony.

Gassama will not only be made a citizen but has also been offered a job by the Paris fire brigade.
