Hero 'Spiderman' Amazing Rescue of Child Leads to French Citizenship

The 22-year-old undocumented immigrant who risked his life to save a young child in Paris is not only a national hero ... he's about to become an official French citizen.

Mamoudou Gassama became a worldwide sensation this weekend after climbing 4 stories in seconds to rescue a 4-year-old boy who was hanging on to a balcony railing for dear life. The video's incredible.

Gassama's heroics saved the child, and now the Malian migrant's been cast into the national spotlight after a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron ... in which he was presented with a certificate and a gold medal for performing an act of courage and dedication.

Mamoudou will also be granted citizenship and has been offered a job with the Paris fire brigade.

According to reports, the young hero was in the area to watch a football match when he noticed the commotion and sprung into action. 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."

The boy's father was reportedly detained for alleged neglect, and the child has been placed in special care.

Alek Skarlatos Busts His Nose In 'DWTS' Rehearsal

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
ABC

The bad luck streak continues ... Alek Skarlatos -- one of the French terror train heroes -- just suffered a broken nose, courtesy of his "Dancing with the Stars" partner.

Our 'DWTS' sources tell us Skarlatos and his partner Emma Slater were in rehearsals Monday morning when she accidentally hit him in the face with an elbow.

We're told medics are at the dance studio right now ... checking him out. Early prognosis is ... it's broken, but he'll have to get x-rays to confirm.

Just last week -- Alek's fellow train hero Spencer Stone was nearly killed when he got stabbed four times in the chest in a bar fight. Also, Alek was supposed to be at Umpqua Community College the day the shooting happened there -- but was at 'DWTS' instead.

Alek visited Spencer in the hospital just this weekend.

Spencer Stone Video Of Stabbing Train Hero Was Fighting 3 Guys

THE INCIDENT
@kcraBrianHickey @TonyBizjak

Crazy footage has surfaced showing the wild street brawl that resulted in the stabbing of French terror train hero Spencer Stone ... in which you can see he was fighting at least 3 other men.

The fight was caught on video by a surveillance camera at a nearby liquor store in Sacramento -- you can see Stone (reportedly the bigger man in the white shirt) swinging wildly at the other fighters.

At one point, you can see one the fighters strike Stone in the chest area with what appears to be a weapon -- and his shirt almost immediately begins to turn red from the blood.

Stone was hospitalized with serious injuries -- but now officials say he's in stable condition and he's expected to survive.

Cops also say alcohol was a factor in the fight and insist the fight is in NO WAY connected to the terrorism incident in France.

Investigators are currently checking out 2 nightclubs in the area for information on the suspects.

Story developing ...

Spencer Stone French Terror Train Hero Stabbed

Spencer Stone, one of the 3 American heroes who thwarted the terrorist attack in France, was stabbed multiple times ... and is now hospitalized.

The attack reportedly happened early Thursday morning in Sacramento while Stone was protecting a friend. Stone was stabbed 4 times in the chest while standing on a street corner.

The 23-year-old U.S. airman 1st class is reportedly in stable condition.

Stone, Alek Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler were deservedly hailed as heroes back in August after they disarmed a would-be terrorist on a Paris-bound train.

Skarlatos just escaped tragedy last week by a twist of fate. He was enrolled to attend classes at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, and would have been there when the mass shooting happened ... if he hadn't decided to do "Dancing with the Stars" at the last minute.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse I Got So Much Love For The HERO Chris Mintz

The Oregon Chris Mintz is an army vet who remained in the hospital Friday recovering from his gunshot wounds and two broken legs.

Chris, the actor, says he's got nothing but love for Chris, the hero ... and has since re-routed all the well-deserved fan fare toward the correct Twitter and Facebook pages.
